Infamous for his Father Ted role, meet the man behind Fr. Dougal
The man made famous by Channel 4’s ‘Father Ted’, 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.
"He is a complete joy to watch, planting the sort of silly images that bump around in your head forever." The Guardian
