Comedian's Wild Show Features Bug Audience and Future Trips
28 Aug
Summary
- Irish comedian Marty Gleeson performs a highly unconventional show titled 'Dog Ear'.
- The performance features surreal segments, including a stand-up set by a face mite.
- Gleeson's unique style blends imaginative free-for-alls with solid joke-writing.
Marty Gleeson's fringe debut, 'Dog Ear,' offers an unpredictable comedic journey, characteristic of an art school background. The Irish comedian presents a show where one unconventional idea follows another, from imagined future visits to a stand-up routine delivered by a microscopic inhabitant of her own body.
Gleeson's material, while at times testing audience patience with extended uneasy moments before a punchline, is frequently captivating. Standout routines include a progressively ardent request for a "big juicy booty" and an absurd extension of news bulletin closing credits.
Despite occasional detours into less humorous territory, such as a bit about being on trial for touching a tree, 'Dog Ear' remains a diverting experience. Gleeson's deadpan persona effectively grounds the show's imaginative flights of fancy, enhanced by solid joke-writing, making for a fresh and beguiling performance.
