Search Results for 'Father Ted'

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.

Next year’s Tedfest will take place over two 'Craggy Islands', Inis Mor from February 25 to 28, and Inis Oirr from March 4 to 7. Organisers hope this will finally end the long running feud between the islands and prevent the threatened break away Dickfest taking place on the smaller island.
