Comedian Ardal O’Hanlon is bringing his new stand-up show to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on Friday 27 March 2026. The Father Ted star will perform his latest tour, Not Himself, which offers residents a night out in their own town without needing to travel to London for a major act.

The Assembly Hall Theatre is a 1,000-seat venue that is owned and run by the Tunbridge Wells Borough Council. Local businesses like pubs and restaurants in the town centre can expect an increase in customers from people visiting for the Friday night performance.

O’Hanlon has described this tour as his most personal work to date, where he reflects on his own identity and religious background. The show also covers his thoughts on contemporary life, including topics like artificial intelligence and towel animals.

The performance is exactly one month away, and tickets are available through the venue and Ticketmaster. This booking follows other high-profile acts at the theatre this week, showing a continued focus on bringing well-known talent to the local community.
