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.

INTRODUCING: THE BAD ARTICLES - Ep 1 - Welcome to Wight's

INTRODUCING: THE BAD ARTICLES - Ep 1 - Welcome to Wight's
<p>THE BAD ARTICLES IS FINALLY OUT! </p><p>This is the show I've been working on for the past few months with a bunch of your Dunbracken favourites, and all 4 episodes of the 1st season (or first Article, as we call them) are out now. </p><p>This is the 1st episode. If you enjoy this, check out The Bad Articles for the rest. Either search the name, or go to the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/thebadarticles">linktree here</a>. I'm so proud of this show and we're already hard at work on our next Article.</p><p>TBA is a supernatural comedy audio drama, following the chaotic and absurd investigations of the Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) as they attempt to stop otherworldly threats across 1990's Ireland. A narrative experience that weaves together improvised comedy, tabletop roleplaying and rich sound design.</p><p>If you enjoy the stuff we do here, you'll love this show. It's like a longer, more supernatural Dunbracken. A silly and irreverent love-letter to collaborative story telling, Irish folklore and 90's nostalgia. It was so much fun to make and you can be sure there's more to come.</p><p>There's also more Dunbracken to come. There's always more Dunbracken to come.</p><p></p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>Article #1: The Root of All Evil (Part 1) - Welcome to Wight's</p><p>The Official Supernatural Neutralisation Agency (O.S.N.A.) are Ireland's leading otherworldly investigators, and they’ve just placed an advert in the local newspaper in the hopes of swelling their ranks.</p><p>Who will join the fight against fright?</p><p></p><p>The Bad Articles is created by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/scruffygoldfish/">JR McCormick</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/krumholtz.stiltzkin/">Aidan Kelly</a>.</p><p>Editing and Sound Design by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/clarkphillips88/">Clark Phillips.</a></p><p></p><p>Starring:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/conlethmcveigh/">Conleth McVeigh</a> as Clarry Postman, The Milkman</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/lauconlon/">Laura Conlon</a> as Maddie Murphy</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/pmeier747/">Patrick Meier</a> as Dolan Gibbons</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/snakesinacoat/">Niall McKenna</a> as Gideon Hubble</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/scruffygoldfish/">JR McCormick</a> &amp; <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/krumholtz.stiltzkin/">Aidan Kelly</a> as everyone else.</p><p></p><p>Chat with all these folk, and other fans of the show on our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://discord.gg/n7A7x6yGA6">Discord server</a>!</p><p>For Behind-the-scenes content and more info on the show follow our socials:</p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/krumholtz.stiltzkin/">Instagram</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bsky.app/profile/thebadarticles.bsky.social">Bluesky</a>, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@thebadarticles">Youtube</a></p><p>You can find all of these at our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://linktr.ee/thebadarticles">Linktree</a> as well.</p><p></p><p>The Bad Articles is produced by <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.felbrynstudios.com">Felbryn Studios</a> in Belfast, N.I.</p>
