Ardal O'Hanlon - Not Himself!

Now really, comedian Ardal O' Hanlon probably doesn’t need much of an introduction but of course, we're going to give him one anyway!

If you’re a fan of the cult comedy Father Ted (we are HUGE ones), then you might know him best as the hapless Father Dougal McGuire.

He’ll also be familiar to you from his appearances in TV shows such as 'Taskmaster' and 'Would I Lie To You?', from his leading roles in 'Death in Paradise', and 'My Hero' as well as cameos in 'Derry Girls', 'The Woman in the Wall', and 'Rosie Molloy Gives Up Everything'. He will soon be seen in the feature film, 'Fran the Man', and the new Netflix series, 'How to get to Heaven from Belfast', as well as the CW drama, 'Sherlock and Daughter'. He’s also an acclaimed writer, currently working on his third novel.

At the heart of it all though, Ardal is one of the world's best-loved stand up comedians. He's bringing his new show 'Not Himself 'to Yeovil Westlands and to the Playhouse in Weston- super-Mare in October, as well as to Komedia Bath next year.

Before we got to all that though, Jenna started off by asking Ardal when he knew comedy and making people laugh was absolutely what he wanted to do…
