On stage at Fitzpatrick Castle Hotel in Dublin: Ardal O'Hanlon - Not Himself - Killiney - Jan 31

neuroses that are currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provided.

After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man

and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background. And thinks

twice about the very core of his identity as a voice of reason. Is everything a big lie?

With no major trauma of his own to draw on for material, apart from the drag of getting

older, he also turns his gaze outwards at the joys and follies of contemporary life. Towel

Animals? A.I.? Chair Yoga? Cauliflower as a main course? Yes. Yes. Yes. And Yes. No

current idiocy is left unexamined. With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous, and

proper comedy bones, NOT HIMSELF, is a testament to the healing power of humour.

And the joy of jokes.

Ardal is not only an acclaimed stand-up comedian who has performed world-wide. He

will be familiar to many from his appearances in TV shows such as Taskmaster and

Would I Lie To You?, leading roles in Death In Paradise, Fr Ted, and My Hero as well as

cameos in Derry Girls, The Woman In The Wall, Return To Paradise and Rosie Molloy

Gives Up Everything. He will soon be seen in the new Netflix series, How To Get To

Heaven From Belfast. His second novel A Plot to Die For? will be released in 2026.
