A parent of his:

"The devil is stuck inside of you"

A friend"s mother:

"He"s not as stupid as he looks"

Encouraging hairdresser:

Bearcat hecklers 2002:

"Ha ha, ha" and other signs of enjoyment

Friend Jonathan O"Dea:

"Before Mick began Stand-Up you only needed two rooms to house his ego"

Person in Brighton Sealife Centre:

"Fish are more intelligent than us." I"d like to see YOU live under water."

Chortle:

"similar to Ardal O'Hanlon, the bemused idiot savant, but even more scatterbrained."

Chortle:

"jokes appallingly structured, don't crystallise into comedy nugget, puns of dubious quality"

Mr. Cheese at the The Chuckle Club:

"That was great." Come back anytime to do a 10"

A well known" Comedian:

"Your material is very strong"

Amused Moose description:

"MICHEÃL O'CONNELL and his lowkey throwaways with a gag in the tail"

Alex of The Comedy Store:

"Your material is very strong"

Avalon Agent offering Contract:

"You're very good. You've got soul." My wife liked you. Sign this contract"

He seems to have something to say

Home

What's his Plan?

"To avoid ambition. To become a good comedian." Might take a few years." If I stop getting better I will quit." If I stop enjoying it I will quit." The word 'career' is bad." Of course a contract or money would be nice."
