Welcome Back to Dunbracken, the sketch comedy about the small Irish town where wit and wisdom made a gentleman’s agreement to never meet.
From the phone line the residents call to check on the rain, to the mayor who insists he won the election that never occurred, to the two rival funeral directors’ hoping to put each other in a casket - listen to the stories and vignettes from the community who who turn every minor inconvenience into someone else’s problem.
Dunbracken is an entirely improvised show, produced in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Each episode is a standalone series of sketches, monologues & vignettes.

Award Nominated Crude Ideas | Ep 66
WE'RE BACK! FOR ONE EPISODE (and then some more episodes after that) ONLY (and then further episodes after that only, but it'll be on a random, sporadic schedule, maybe monthly, as I have a lot of content recorded, just no time to edit)!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Also We've been nominated for several awards at the Golden Lobes 2026 (https://www.comedy.co.uk/online/news/8691/golden-lobes-2026-nominations/)! Yay!
Dunbracken was nominated for Best Artwork (g'wan little sheep), Best Blooper (the opening scene to episode 60, about the kid's and the bunker, if you're curious), and BEST LIVE SHOW! Which is a pretty big and humbling experience.
The Bad Articles (which I produce alongside many of the Dunbracken cast) also got 4 nominations, including Best New Show, which is wild!
You can vote for Dunbracken & The Bad Articles in the Listener's Award here! (https://podlifeawards.com/vote/the-listeners-lobe-tgl20262?source=)
Please do so, I'm doing a really stupid round trip from America to London to go to the award ceremony, and although I don't expect to win anything, it would be mad if we actually did.
Anyway, have a nice day. Enjoy Dunbracken.
