Warm, sharply written, and packed with big laughs, Golden Retriever Energy is Gray's most personal show yet. About dropping the careful plan and discovering that enthusiasm, chaos, and being completely unqualified might actually be enough. Nominated for Best Newcomer (ISH Awards, 2024) and Best Show (Comedian's Choice Awards, 2025). 'A gold standard of the genre.' (Chortle.co.uk).
