Oh, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal’s latest show. Beautifully crafted stand-up comedy? Yes. Celebrated use of language? Tick. Lateral thinking, surreal flourishes, sharp observations? Of course. As for the occasional profundity? Maybe. Despite his best attempts over many decades to put the world to rights, it is still a colossal mess. And so, Ardal has no choice but to go out on the road again. Like the good comedy doctor he is, he fearlessly diagnoses the various pathologies and neuroses that are concurrently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provided.

After an alarming experience at the supermarket, Ardal reflects firstly on who he is as a man, and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background, while thinking 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 undeniably 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 worldwide. 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 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. Ardal is currently writing his third novel.
