After a few minutes I realized I had seen MM last time he was at Cobbs.
His routine was pretty similar to the last time I had seen him.
He's a sweet guy and probably a nice person. I bet he'd be a great dinner guest. If you haven't seen him, you should.
The first act was really awful. I hope he has other skills to earn a living,
cause laughs are not in the future.

Michael McDonald was very funny as a stand up. He referred to himself as a "Comedy Whore", because whenever he is recognized in public people always ask him to do "Stuart".

Just a funny guy...still has that Mad T.V. aura about him that just makes you want to laugh. Silly but intellectual humor, if that's possible. You hinge on his every word cuz ya know it's going to be funny. It seemed like a short routine but that's because I wanted it to go on longer. The guy before him was quite funny as well in a totally different, spasmic kind of way. Was a good night of laughs!

Michael McDonald was very funny at kinda heartwarming at the same time. He can really tell a story. Cobb's ambiance and service was fine as always. Only thing is they crowd the tables in way too close. I'd suggest to them that they spread out the tables when they don't expect a sellout.

Popular celebrity impressions include Dr. Phil, Simon Cowell, John Kerry, Maury Povich, Bill O’Reilly, and Tim Gunn.
