COMEDIAN FINALIST
Justine Halpin

From trying everything from the world's hottest Doritos to canned squid heads, and entertaining over 1.3 million subscribers on a weekly basis, Justine decided to make a move from online comedy and take it to the stage.
Completing a Stand Up Comedy course in Dublin's Bow Street Academy in 2023, she booked her very first gig. Since then Justine has been gigging all over the city for popular clubs such as Hysteria and the Dublin Comedy Crunch supporting big names such as Neil Delamare and Willie White.

BABY STEPS
IRL
Length: 9mins 29sec
By Hannah Mamalis
Baby Steps follows Em, a young woman who is 7 months pregnant and has little to no connection to the baby growing inside her. Presented with an outdated and vaguely misogynistic tape from her father entitled ‘How to Connect with your Unborn Child’, Em attempts to follow the instructions in the hopes that they will lead her to some form of greater understanding. Though the process itself is an unmitigated disaster throughout, she does inevitably find catharsis when she discovers that her mother (recently deceased) also listened to the tape when she was pregnant with Em and left a message.
