VIDEO: Ardal O'Hanlon on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow (BBC One, 2010)
Those
Glasgow International Comedy Festival (GICF) posters you see around town will
soon be recycled. The event’s performers will hit the road again, while its
temporary staff will find other work.
And
unless you pull your finger out before it finishes on Sunday, you will go on
with your dull life – bereft of the laughter it has provided to many over the
past two weeks.
Tonight
you could really do with heading down to King’s Theatre, where Ardal O’Hanlon –
a GICF highlight – will be telling jokes on stage.
You’ll
recognise this doe-eyed Irishman from TV shows such as Father Ted and My Hero,
or, since, as a multi-award-winning stand-up comedian.
Now
in its tenth year, the GICF is continuing its good work – and a Thursday
evening with this funnyman wouldn’t be a bad time for you to become a part of
it.
