Award winning comedian and actor, Ardal O'Hanlon, is one of the most acclaimed artists
to break through the comedy industry in recent years.

Ardal O'Hanlon e' un attore (Father Dougal Maguire nella serie Father Ted) oltre che uno scrittore imperdibile; vi suggeriamo The Talk of The Town; non potrete dimenticare il suo dark humour, la sua ironia i suoi personaggi, soprattutto Patrick Scully, mezzo imbroglione, mezzo sempliciotto, la cui storia d'amore vi sorprendera'.

"There's a powerful intelligence at work and crucially as well as being very, very funny, he's also terrifically likeable, recounting tall tales for all the world as if he was chatting to you in a bar. It's a combination that's made Ardal O'Hanlon one of the most popular live stand ups in the country." MANCHESTER EVENING NEWS

" An inspirational performer. The one thing that really matters about Ardal O'Hanlon is that in a world already overpopulated by comedians, he really makes a difference See him - if you can find a ticket" THE STAGE


"Ardal O'Hanlon appearing as 'himself' will be a revelation. If you've only seen him in his television role as wide-eyed 'Father Dougal' don't miss his stand up performance. Watch him turn innocence into a deadly comic weapon"
THE SUNDAY TIMES

"Displays a proficiency of delivery which puts him well a head of the pack. He is a complete joy to watch, planting the sort of silly images that bump around in your head forever."
THE GUARDIAN

"Skilfully handled running jokes, his manipulation of a capacity crowd is just as impressive..sharp and genial observation . O'Hanlon is certainly a comedian to be reckoned with."
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

"Well-structured observational comedy, planting verbal mines which later detonate in glorious pay-offs. Funnier than one could imagine possible."
THE SCOTSMAN

"His performance leaps between devilishly-delivered non-sequiteurs, but keeps a common thread of outstanding observation too. If you love comedy and smart talking - and only go to see one comedy show, make it O'Hanlon"
