She had already been cast in Singlehood, by Una McKevitt, which began its journey in 2012, with McNally joining in 2014. McNally’s breakout solo show, also directed by McKevitt, was Bite Me at the Dublin Fringe Festival in 2016, detailing her experience of disordered eating. The show was a hit, equally devastating and hilarious. McNally was once told she would never book Vicar Street because of her “posh” accent .
In its live format, My Therapist Ghosted Me isn’t just a staged podcast episode. It’s a show about their friendship, their screw-ups and the general ridiculousness of their lives. There’s a hydraulic stand that emerges from the stage floor to deliver them drinks. There are T-shirt canons and a show-closing DJ set from Williams. McNally is used to theatres and screaming fans but Williams’s trajectory has been different. First of all, she’s not a stand-up comic. “Excuse me!” Williams feigns shock.
I thought the way you built up audiences as a comic was you just gigged. I was a bit naive about the power of podcasts. They just seemed like extra workOne night, McNally rang Williams from a club in Greenwich. A bunch of young women had turned up to McNally’s set because they loved the podcast. McNally found herself looking at these new fans thinking, “‘Holy s**t’ ... This is the god’s honest truth,” McNally says, “If it wasn’t for Covid, I would have never done a podcast.
I’m not going to be pregnant this year. I’m going around with my pal and I’m having a great time with my family“We’ve a lovely team,” Williams says, “Starting with Una [McKevitt].” I say it’s interesting that many of the people around them have been working with them for a long time. “You know when you go into a cafe or a restaurant and there’s a high turnover of staff?” McNally asks, “It’s not a great look.” “I find that with gyms, if there’s trainers going in and out,” Williams says.
