In the Opera House, he went by his stripper name Frankie but <em>strip</em> away his stage name and there’s a very real person underneath. </p><p><br></p><p>In this interview Liam shares what it was like growing up on a council estate in Ballybeg in County Waterford and getting into trouble from a young age. Between the ages of 17 and 28 Liam was in and out of prison and detention amassing 89 convictions in total. He was caught in a seemingly endless cycle of addiction and bad choices until one day, Liam decided to change his life. Far from living a quiet life though, Liam has continued to live out loud and has stories that would make your hair curl - from swinging, to wild encounters on the job, this man has lived!
