Off the Meter, On the Records represents the culmination of a forty-year career of driving a yellow cab while trying to make a difference in the world. </a></h3><h3><a href="https://irishrep.org/show/2017-2018-season/off-the-meter/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">He has been writing and performing at Caroline’s, the Comic Strip, the Huntington Cinema Arts Center, NY Society for Ethical Culture, the Puffin Room SOHO, and Rocky Sullivan’s pub among others. John is an active member of Irish American Writers. Guaranteed to fill the room with laughter and reflection, as John recounts some amazing stories. </a></h3><h3><strong>“From the plight of the NYC homeless to the crazy demands of Upper East Side matrons, McDonagh brings the audience from laughter to tears and back again faster than the apparition of umbrella dealers on a rainy day. Throw in his tales of brushes with the rich and famous, and you have Irish storytelling at its best.” </strong><a href="https://irishrep.org/show/2017-2018-season/off-the-meter/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong>Irish Repertory Theatre </strong></a></h3><h3><strong>“he’s an unfailingly affable raconteur… It’s all fascinating stuff” -The New Yorker</strong></h3><h3><strong> “uproarious and moving” –TheaterScene</strong></h3><h3><strong>“Hilarious…It’s hard to think of anyone who could who could do justice to the New York cabby’s life better than John McDonagh” –Theatre’s Leiter Side</strong></h3><h3><a href="https://newyorkirisharts.com/origins-1st-irish-review/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Origin’s 1st Irish 2022: Off The Meter measures up</a></h3><h3><a href="https://qns.com/2022/08/astoria-greek-cultural-center-presents-one-man-play-off-the-meter-on-the-record/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Astoria Greek Cultural Center presents one-man play, ‘Off the Meter, On the Record’</a></h3><h3><a href="http://www.offthemeter.net/cabtivistteaser" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Trailer</a></h3><p><strong>And, to tear a stub from McDonagh’s activist ticket, support is desperately needed to support the Greek Cultural Center after debt piled up during the COVID shutdowns: donations are encouraged at their website:</strong><a href="https://www.greekculturalcenter.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"><strong> greekculturalcenter.org</strong></a></p>
