The New York Irish Center is thrilled to bring Off The Meter to our Hall for a two-day run. John McDonagh, a Queens native, has performed the show all over the world—but never in Queens. It’s a coming home story of sorts!

Off The Meter is a social commentary from New York’s most recognizable cab driver about life spent behind the wheel. John McDonagh, veteran radio host, has condensed thirty-plus years of activism, reality show antics and observation into a love song to the city that never sleeps.

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.
