Stand Up 4 Women Xmas Edition: Phoenix Arts Club, London 2020
The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society: The Phoenix pub, Cavendish Square, London, 2024
Writer and comedian Mary O’Connell was on the bill for Stand Up 4 Women Xmas Edition that I saw in December 2020. O’Connell was very clever and very witty with her thoughts about relationships. Her absurd view on life combined with her very stand-offish manner endeared her to the socially distanced crowd.
The dry Irish wit of O’Connell was on display as the first act for The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society that I saw in February 2024. Very clever and engaging comedy routines established a great rapport with the audience who loved her.
Mary’s Dad is a friend so I’m not impartial but I’ve seen her three times in all and she’s a classy act unafraid of difficult subjects.
