Rolling Stone 12 Rising Stars Edinburgh Fringe 2026.

Hello, Marty Gleeson whispers gently yet sternly right into your tiny stupid ear. Her hand stretches toward you, one eye lights up like a spark, the other one is dead behind it. ‘Come on.’ Gleeson growls. Unnerved but excited, you take her hand as she pulls you head first into show ‘Dog Ear’ You’ll see magpies like you’ve never seen, news reporters in unexpected places and flaw filled moments of humanity all the while asking yourself, how important is detail?

"In the hands of another comic, this is wacky silliness. In Marty Gleeson's hands, this is art."
