STARS
Premiered at Dublin Fringe 2023
STARS is the man with the neck brace sitting next to you on the bus muttering to himself. It’s the old woman you have a stand-off with by your bins every morning. It’s the mould growing on your ceiling you start to imagine is winking at you from the corner of your eye.
We are all in the gutters. We’ve been here for a while and we’ve been waiting for you.
Sketch, characters and finding your way back to the end.

Symphony of Worms
Premiered at Dublin Fringe 2019 with the support of Pan Pan Platform in partnership with AOB Art’s Management.
Hannah is an only child. She has an unsettling attraction to Hobbits, always misses the toilet with the toilet paper and is terrified of dying alone. But what if she could reach out and experience a glimpse of life and death through her alternate selves in alternate dimensions? Symphony of Worms is a time, space and neurosis traversing comedy/story show about failure, connection and our never-ending quest to find the things that truly matter. To affinity and beyond
Winner - Spirit of Wit Award
Nominated - Project Art’s Radical Spirit Award, Abbey Theatre Creative Thinking Award
“Mamalis moves lightly from stand up comedy to storytelling to improvisation … Beyond the charm and utter ease of this performance is a revelation of vulnerability, a surprise emotional kick” - ★★★★
The Irish Times

The Egg is a Lonely Hunter
Premiered at Dublin Fringe 2017. Played First Fortnight Festival and Summerhall at the Edinburgh Fringe 2018.
Sophie works in a shop. She suffers from an irrational fear of eggs. Her nipples are behaving strangely and a Black Hole has appeared in her neighbourhood that could be/probably is a pervert. While precocious eight year olds and prophetic animals lurk around every corner, her dreams and reality begin to blur beyond comprehension or control. And worst of all, one of her favourite socks is missing. The Egg is a Lonely Hunter is a dark comedic odyssey about beached whales, black holes and the redeeming power of eggs.
Nominated - First Fortnight Award, Bewley’s Little Gem Award and Fishamble New Writing Award
“Hannah Mamalis is a born storyteller, to use a phrase that possibly does not do her capacity for creation or sensuous delivery justice” - ★★★★★
The Skinny
“She holds the audience in the palm of her hand” -
Ed Fest Magazine

“Pretty beautifully written and very nicely performed. I liked it” - Daniel Kitson
In Between
Audio theatre commissioned by Dublin Fringe and The Abbey Theatre 2021.
Three stories. A girl and her suicidal fish, a man digging a hole to save his failing relationship and a woman impatiently waiting for the end of the world. Then there’s you. Lie back. Close your eyes. The parody and tragedy of life lies at your fingertips, all you have to do is reach out and touch fate.
