[The Lyrebird: Sings far-carrying melodious notes interspersed with perfect mimicry of other creatures.]

Keara’s new expressive character comedy show introduces us to some brand new characters including the mythical Mary Malone from the great book of Irish Insults.  Mary is the put-upon mother of nine, blind, illegitimate children who is baffled by her curse and so seeks out a cure from the local priest. 

Mistress MacKenzie - star of Highland Radio - gives out some more alternative school lessons to the children of the remote Island communities.  Subjects include the long and bloody history of paperclips and some homely advice on love in a drizzly climate. 

Donatella Pringle - the Liverpudlian tour guide - takes us on a hazardous coach trip through The Gadango Mountains, where we enjoy some unique sights including a field of free-roaming miniature dead donkeys, a crumbling 60’s tower-block which has recently received World Heritage status and an authentic shootout as part of the resort family entertainment.   

Making a welcome return are two old favourites: pub landlady and sadistic husband-beater, Stacey Broon and failed Vegas stripper, Madeleine Morningstar. 

And, of course, just for nonsense, there will be a few impersonations thrown in for absolutely no reason at all other than the fact that she can.
