Hugh Gallagher (humorist)
Hugh Gallagher is an author and musician from New York. He is best known for his satire, including his band Von Von Von, his award-winning satire on the college application essay, "3A Essay", and the novel ''Teeth''.
== Early life and work ==
Gallagher was born in New York City and grew up in Pennsylvania. While in high school, he won Scholastic Press, Inc.'s national writing contest in 1990 with a satiric personal essay titled "3A Essay".
The essay starts with "I am a dynamic figure", and contains many humorous, hyperbolic statements of his accomplishments, ending with the line, "But I have not yet gone to college." The essay, which he did apparently submit to some colleges,〔(Hugh Gallagher's 'College Essay' )〕 has become an urban legend among high school students undergoing the college admissions process. It also became a popular Internet phenomenon in the late 1990s. The essay was also recorded as a spoken-word piece by Gang of Seven Productions.〔(Hugh Gallagher: Man of Many Talents — Alec Saunders .LOG )〕 A line from this essay was adapted by Full Contact Origami for the company's name.
Gallagher ultimately attended NYU.〔 While there, he released a spoken-word/comedy album under the name Hugh Brown Shu in 1992, entitled "Bomb the Womb."
