An event held at The Gaffe Comedy Club on Wednesday 17th February. The event starts at 19:30.
Edinburgh Fringe Award Best Newcomer WINNER (The first Irish woman to do it!) and Comedians Choice Best Newcomer WINNER 2026, Marty Gleeson brings her debut sell out hour Dog Ear to The Gaffe comedy club.
Hello, Marty Gleeson whispers gently yet sternly right into your tiny stupid ear. Her hand stretches toward you, one eye lights up like a spark, the other one is dead behind it. ‘Come on.’ Gleeson growls. Unnerved but excited, you take her hand as she pulls you head first into show Dog Ear. You’ll see magpies like you’ve never seen, news reporters in unexpected places and flaw filled moments of humanity all the while asking yourself, how important is detail?
