Comedian Leo Gallagher's Brother Ron Gallagher & Their Net Worth

Publish date: 2024-04-18

Ron Gallagher, the younger brother of comedian Leo Gallagher, is also an actor and sketch comedy star.

Leo is six years older than Ron, but the two brothers look so similar that people confuse them as twins.

Ron Gallagher is accused of copying his elder brother and performing many acts in his name to gain fame. He has made a fortune by deceiving fans and using Leo's name to perform comedy shows.

According to Variety, Comedian Gallagher gave his younger bro the right to do comedy shows using the "Sledge-O-Matic" routine. However, the promotional materials must mention that the performer is Ron, not Leo Gallagher.

But, Ron started performing these shows under the name "Gallagher Too," and sometimes not making it clear with just "Gallagher."

Leo did not like his name being used like this, so he requested Ron to stop doing so. But Ron continued using Gallagher's fame for his benefit. Thus, Leo Gallagher sued his brother for false advertising and violation of the Trademark in 2000. The court banned Ron from performing any acts that impersonate Leo or create confusion among the fans. After the lawsuit, the brothers were not much close to each other, and Ron disappeared from the public limelight.
