John Donoghue (writer)


John Donoghue is a humourist, travel writer, and police officer from Wales. He is best known for his 2004 book Shakespeare My Butt!, a humorous travelogue of unusual and oddly-named destinations in Great Britain. The book's title was an homage to the 1991 album Shakespeare My Butt by Canadian folk rock band The Lowest of the Low.
After a career in the military, he joined the police and in 2011, published his second book Police, Crime & 999: The True Story of a Front Line Officer - a humorous look at a year in his life as a response officer.
Still a serving police officer, he has gone on to publish Police, Lies & Alibis, and Police, Arrests & Suspects.
