What Happens in Ulster

World’s Worst Hitman


Listen Later

True crime parody. Comedian Diona Doherty plays an ambitious young reporter trying to jump on the true crime bandwagon with a hit podcast.

After failing to find a juicy serial killer story, Georgina starts investigating ‘attempted’ murders and discovers that there is a local hitman on the prowl. This hitman is so bad at his job, not only does he fail to kill his targets, he seems to horrifically injure himself at every attempt. This is the story of a nobody who became a hitman…and his victims, who are alive and well.

What Happens In Ulster is a mockumentary series inspired by wave of popular true crime podcasts and radio documentaries.

Our ambitious young reporter believes that the fastest way to the top of the news business, is with a cracking true crime documentary. All she needs is an unsolved crime, some victims and a suspect. And lots of crying would be great. If this documentary is a success, she could go on to present Newsline or a Panorama. After that, who knows… Dancing On Ice? But first, she needs some drama, even if she has to create some herself.

The show stars Diona Doherty and is written and produced by Marc McElroy.
