Back to Dunbracken

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.
