SUMMARY:Ardal O’Hanlon: Not Himself
DESCRIPTION:Oh\, it’s all there! All the trademarks are in evidence in Ardal O’Hanlon’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. \nDespite 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 currently ravaging humanity. Disclaimer: No solutions provided. \nAfter an alarming experience at the supermarket\, Ardal reflects on who he is as a man and a comedian. He examines his own ethnic and religious background. And thinks 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. \nNo current idiocy is left unexamined. With a highly developed sense of the ridiculous\, and proper comedy bones\, Not Himself\, is a testament to the healing power of humour. And the joy of jokes.* \n*Ardal is not only an acclaimed stand-up comedian who has performed world-wide. 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\, Father 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. \nHe 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.

SUMMARY:Matt Green
DESCRIPTION:Following his debut sell-out national tour\, online comedy star Matt Green returns with brand new jokes about the state of politics\, the world and himself. Matt has moved house and the world has moved into an even more chaotic state. But we can still laugh about it – right? \nIs selling a flat more annoying than Donald Trump? Will Keir Starmer ever be cool? And what happens when an algorithm knows you better than you know yourself? Or are these all just illegitimate concerns? \nAs seen and heard in his viral clips on social media and YouTube\, James O’Brien’s show on LBC\, Radio 4’s POV\, Oh God What Now?\, Paper Cuts\, Mrs Sidhu Investigates\, The Marlow Murder Club and even as a news reporter in Doctor Who! You might also have seen the back of his head in A Very Royal Scandal\, but only if you were really paying attention in the wedding photographer scene.
