Marty Gleeson - Comedy
Marty Gleeson is an Irish standup comedian kickin' down the front, back and side doors of the London comedy scene. Her offbeat, whimsical and dry performance style pulls you in close and takes to places you don't see coming. Winner of the Pete Nash Award for comic originality, West New Act of the Year and Max Turner finalist.
‘It's rare to find a comic whose playful relationship with suspense has an audience laughing before they've even spoken, but this seems to be Marty Gleeson's superpower.' - Broadway World
‘A breath of fresh air. Funny and original deadpan comedy with an unexpectedly dark edge.’ - Dan
Atkinson
