Comedy from Father Ted's Ardal O'Hanlon at The Cresset
Comedy royalty Ardal O’Hanlon brings his new UK tour, Not Himself to The Cresset in Peterborough on Friday, October 31.
Taking the audience on a thought-provoking journey following an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal examines his identity as a man and a comedian, reflecting on everything from his own ethnic and religious background to the joys and follies of contemporary life.
Not Himself is a testament to the healing power of humour, touched with life enhancing observations and unexpected twists
With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting older, this hilarious and touching show sees Ardal turn his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life, with no current idiocy left unexamined.
Towel Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes.
Join Ardal as he navigates the ridiculousness of our times, reminding us all to find laughter amidst life’s chaos.
Ardal said: “The itch is back! I can’t put it off any longer. The joy and excitement of live touring. The venting opportunities. Please do come along if you’re free to my most personal show yet.”
Star of C4’s Father Ted and BBC’s Death in Paradise and guest in Derry Girls, Ardal O’Hanlon is one of the best- loved stand-up comedians in the world. A founding father of Dublin’s contemporary comedy scene, he moved to London where he quickly won the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year and was soon catapulted into the world of sitcoms. However, despite that distraction, he continues to tour his punchy but absurdist life-enhancing comedy worldwide.
