Trouble: A Memoir

Irish writer and comedian Marise Gaughan started her comedy career in the open mic nights of Los Angeles and quickly made waves with her dark and honest style. Now based in London and Dublin, Marise continues to perform in all the major UK clubs, and has supported Rob Delaney, Ari Shaffir and Jim Norton on tour. She also presents a weekly radio segment on Ireland's lyric.fm and has written features for The Irish Times and The Journal.ie as well as online American magazines including Tasteful Rude, Windmill, (mac)ro(mic) and Hobart.

Her debut show Drowning discusses her father's (successful) suicide attempt and her own (unsuccessful one). It premiered at the Dublin Fringe Festival in September 2018 and was awarded the Women's Irish Network Arts Bursary to take it to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
