The references to gays are horribly unfunny, the show's heavy-handed Oirishness makes me uncomfortable and many of the jokes are so old you could supply the punchlines. But there's an undeniable warmth to this show and it's filled with big laughs because of Brendan O'Carroll's superb clowning.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 7th April 2012Review: Hit the Road Jack
