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.
