Her solo show about relationships, This Feels Terrible, premiered at UCB in 2010. It later became a podcast, with McGathy interviewing comedians and friends about their relationships. Notable guests included comedians Marc Maron, Dan Harmon, Wayne Federman, and director Rob Schrab. McGathy became a frequent guest and "comptroller" on the Harmontown podcast. McGathy was a regular character on the show's Dungeons & Dragons segment and subsequently a cast member in the spin-off animated series from Seeso, HarmonQuest. Beginning in March 2015, McGathy co-hosts the podcast Human Conversation with comedian Wayne Federman, in which the two discuss various, oft-delightful and meandering topics, without the aid of technology. She co-founded the MOB theatre troupe in Dublin in 2018, and the following year debuted at the Dublin Fringe Festival her solo theatrical show, Al Dawes F***ing Loves You , in which she played a whimsical beta male comedian going through a break-up. ==Personal life==

McGathy married television writer and showrunner Dan Harmon in November 2014. Their relationship was one focus of the Harmontown documentary, which detailed the podcast's tour across America. McGathy moved to Dublin, Ireland in January 2016, after having worked on a WWOOF organic farm in nearby Dundalk. ==Filmography==
