MARTIN DOCKERY (performer/playwright) is a frequent performer in New York’s storytelling scene. Over the past three years, he’s created five monologues and one play, performing them all across North America, Britain, and Australia.

Wanderlust, directed by Jean-Michele Gregory, is about a 5-month trek through West Africa in search of a moment of Epiphany. It’s received 5-star reviews in many newspapers, and won top honors at fringe theater festivals in Orlando, London, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver, & Adelaide. The Surprise, also directed by Jean-Michele Gregory, is about secrets unveiled during a trip to Vietnam. It won Martin soloNOVA’s 2009 Breakthrough Performer of the Year, as well as selling out its entire run at The Edmonton Fringe Festival. The Bike Trip, Martin’s third autobiographical monologue, is about the creation of LSD, and it was chosen as “Best of Festival” in both Orlando and Winnipeg. Throughout 2011, Martin has been performing in his own two-person play Oh, That Wily Snake!, with runs in Fresno, Orlando, London, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton, & Vancouver, with an up-coming run in New York in 2012. He also debuted two new monologues. His first fictional piece, Bursting Into Flames, is about an excursion through the afterlife, and was awarded top honors by The CBC. His other new work, The Holy Land Experience, about a faithless pilgrimage through the land of the faithful, was chosen by The Orlando Sentinel as one of their “Best of Festival.”
