Hello, Irish comedian Marty Gleeson whispers gently but sternly, her hand outstretched, one eye lit like a spark, the other dead behind it. Come on. Unnerved but excited, you take her hand. Gleeson begins to buck and screech; her sparky eye glows brighter. The other falls right out of her head. Leave it, she growls, pulling you headfirst into her debut hour, Dog Ear. You'll see magpies like you've never seen, news reporters in unexpected places and flaw-filled moments of humanity. BBC New Comedy Award finalist and Channel 4 Sean Lock Award 2024.
