CAIMH MCDONNELL: GORILLA IN THE MIDST
Everybody’s favorite unpronounceable Irishman is back with an hour of stand-up comedy and storytelling. He got married, he’s got a novel
coming out, he’s had rather a big falling out with a large supermarket chain involving cheesecake. Come - it’ll be good. Seriously.
“Delivers cracking high-octane anecdotes” The Independent, “Outstanding” The Telegraph. And those two papers never agree about anything!
