Nicky sits down with comedian, actor, and author Ardal O’Hanlon for a thoughtful and often hilarious conversation about fame, fear, and forging your own path. Best known as the beloved Father Dougal, Ardal reflects on the surreal rise of Father Ted , the weight of overnight success, and how it shaped his creative choices ever since. He opens up about his stand-up roots, writing novels, staying grounded in the face of stardom, and why laughter remains his guiding light.
