Kevin McDonnell Profile

I took up acting in 2023 after seeing a call out on a comedy forum for parts in Rita, Sue & Bob Too. I was doing some stand up at the time and I managed to get the role of Bob. I enjoyed the experience so much I decide to take acting lessons at Act Up North in Leeds. I have continuously sought out roles in amateur dramatics since, with the most recent playing Edward Lyons in Blood Brothers.
I sometimes perform stand up comedy and I've done over 200 gigs. I've supported comedians such as Angelos Epithimou,
Clinton Baptiste, Aaron Bennett, Paul Tonkinson, Tom Wrigglesworth, Jack Gleadow, Jack Carroll and Jonny Pelham.
I won Funhouse Comedy Gong Show's twice in 2022 I've written a number of screenplays and was one of the winners of the Northern Film School Short Script Competition in 2017. They made his film 'God Will Judge' and it premiered at Hyde Park Picture House in Leeds. So technically I've had a movie on the big screen. I was chosen to appear on The Moth International Main Stage.
