Ardal O’ Hanlon

Renowned, even amongst the bitter ranks of his fellow comedians as a master, Ardal’s technique and demeanour set him apart from other acts. Ardal is a Galway festival favourite and indeed a favourite at every festival he plays He has a comic brain par-excellence which can reduce any audience to helpless tears of laughter. He is justifiably one of the most popular stand ups of his generation.

A highly acclaimed stand up, Ardal has toured to sell out audiences internationally (including extensive live work across the US, Canada, Australia, Far East and Europe), released two top ten stand up DVDs (Ardal O’Hanlon Live and Ardal O’Hanlon Live in Dublin) and headlined Live at the Apollo and Michael McIntyre’s Roadshow.

Ardal’s vast TV credits include: Father Ted (C4), My Hero (BBC), After Hours (Sky), Cucumber (Sky), Blessed (BBC), London Irish (C4), Skins (C4), Doctor Who (BBC) and most recently –  BBC’s Death in Paradise.  Ardal has starred in the feature films, Wide Open Spaces, Greyfriars Bobby, Twice Shy and Handsome Devil. 

…Skilfully handled running jokes, his manipulation of a capacity crowd is just as impressive. -The Daily Telegraph  

‘…a brilliant comic mind working away to get the most out of every superbly sharp line.’ –Timeout
