Feedback/Comments
Worst show i have ever seen .
Ledt beforw it finished as did 5 others in the Audience.
Utterly hilarious! Donny's combination of audience participation, video gems and just his all round hilariousness was comedy gold. Donny claims - tongue in cheek - he's going to be the next big thing on TV. We agree! If you want to see the next Ricky Gervais, then definitely worth a look!
Did not enjoy. Tried too hard.
