When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste hobbiest humourist, socially awkward practically unheard-of legally blind cat obsessed* underachiever and husband Neal O’Carroll ingests a perfectly ordinary consumer-grade generic energy drink, something 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 first sentence will end or what topics may emerge. It’s a ludicrious creative non-method inspired partly by classic BBC panel show Just a Minute, praticed and honed over 18 years and 800 episodes. Yet here we are, in 2024, trying to retro-actively justify it narratively. *asterixes purely decorative Into Your Head is a one-of-a-kind comedy podcast creation by Neal from Ireland.
