Murder! Mystery! Dolphins!
Hollywood noir meets contemporary Ireland, and nothing is quite what it seems.
When beloved dolphin Fungie is assassinated, it’s up to grizzled private eye Frank Finger to crack the case. But as he wades deeper into the murky waters of Dingle’s underworld, he uncovers a tangled web of property moguls, fascist clergy, and ancient cults.
Bottlenose is a madcap, satirical comedy that dives headfirst into the absurd.
It’s fast, it’s furious, and it’s utterly ridiculous - in the best way possible.
Created by Cork-based Oh!Scare Wilde Productions, Bottlenose is the latest from writer-actor Aaron O’Neill and director Dee Finn. Their 2023 hit The Pigeon Factory was praised by The Irish Times as “ingenious” and “consistently entertaining”. Expect laughs, lunacy, and a dolphin-shaped hole in your heart.
