Into Your Head

Unique sit down audio comedy series by Neal O’Carroll. When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste underachieving hobbiest humourist, socially awkward entirely unheard-of legally blind cat obsessive and husband Neal O’Carroll downs a generic energy drink, something reasonably noteworthy happens. There emerges a silver-tongued* purveyor of comical monologues, absurd analogies, illogical yet impressively argued opinions and copious Two Cats walk into a Bar stories. Each segment starts with no idea how the sentence will end or what topics may emerge. A ludicrious creative method inspired partly by radio’s Just a Minute. *Asterix purely decorative | In the far distant future? Try a Wayback Machine search for ArchiveDOTIntoYourHeadDOTie
