ARDAL O’HANLON, the multi awarding winning comedian, and one of the most acclaimed stand-ups to emerge from Ireland, ever, is coming back to Galway.

LORD BYRON once said “Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine.” He was echoed in this by Doris Lessing who declared “Laughter is by definition healthy.”

On Friday September 18 Ardal O'Hanlon, the award winning comedian and actor - and star of Father Ted and My Hero, will return to the stand-up stage in Castlebar.

The man who was made famous by Fr Ted, Ardal O’Hanlon will be taking to the stage in Castlebar on Friday September 18. O’Hanlon is a founding father of modern Irish stand-up since he helped form Dublin’s Comedy Cellar in 1990. Ardal has a slew of comedy awards (and a BAFTA) to his name. Thanks to Father Ted, My Hero, and Big Bad World, O’Hanlon is immediately recognisable, but his incredible stand-up talent is perhaps less well known. A million miles from the naive persona of Father Dougal, O’Hanlon’s stand up is dark, sharp, and excruciatingly funny.
