About the Show:
“Blythe Lund has been found dead…next to a piñata… in the McDonald’s parking lot.”
Sleepy California town Los Alamos is known for its wine-tastings, kooky antique stores, an annual Glass Blowing Festival and now: muuuurrrrddderrrrr. Sure, it’s “unfathomable” that anyone could ever lay a finger on an aspiring oncologist and ex-beauty queen, but this small-town has BIG secrets. American comedian Erin McGathy plays every suspect in this murder mystery set in California wine-country. McGathy has appeared on Drunk History (Comedy Central), Community (NBC), Harmonquest (Seeso) and is host of the relationship podcast, This Feels Terrible.

About the Show:
One month before his death, retired civil servant and man of few words Paddy O’Grady had a sudden urge to talk. Using a portable cassette tape recorder, he recorded 15 hours of stories about leprechauns, aliens and lonely pharmacists; absurdist political satire and musings on life, love and death. In this production Paddy’s granddaughter, Emma O’Grady, examines the fractured and fragile personas we present to the world, who we might be behind them and who we could be instead. This is a piece about emotional inheritance and grief for wasted creativity that serves as both a tribute and a warning.

About the Show:
Attracta Tension, the glorious love child of Frankie Byrne and Mailbag, descends on Dublin from the Real Capital to share her Agony Aunt correspondence with you. Running the gamut from the correct use of bath salts (“That’d skin a pig, that dose”) to managing a flaky manager in the workplace (“Concentrate on his left eye when conversing with him”), Attracta’s life lessons will leave you profoundly changed. There’ll be a piano and high stool, so she’ll be serving Ann O’Dwyer on Live at 3 realness. Just imagine.
