Ardal O'Hanlon

Is there any way of getting through this blurb without mentioning a certain rather popular sitcom about some priests and a housekeeper on an island? Unlikely. While it gave Ardal huge popularity and critical acclaim, if you want to really enjoy his talent, you have to see him on stage. One of the finest stand-ups of his generation, it will become immediately clear that it took a smart guy to play someone so gormless. If it’s lateral thinking, laughter and affability you’re after (laughterility?) then this is the show for you. Ted.
