Keep this on the QT, but Irish ‘Ted’-dy bear (he was in ‘Father Ted’, see, and I couldn’t think of a play on the name Dougal), the loveable Ardal O’Hanlon, is making a low-profile live appearance at this ‘intimate’ Chiswick space tonight. He’s joined by a top line up in Shappi Khorsandi, pleather-wearing comic pairing Topping & Butch and MC Simon Bligh. Details and tickets here.
