Reviews
McDonnell's candid and incisive brand of comedy will have you nodding in agreement while at the same time you're trying to hold your sides in. And although you tell yourself you shouldn't be enjoying his non-PC rib-ticklers, just like a car crash you'll be unable to look away.' - The Irish Post (2008)
