If you’re a fan of Mock The Week or 5 Live’s Fighting Talk then Ian Stone will have already made you laugh. This north London, working class, Jewish comedian has an easy-going manner that endears him to any crowd.
He has also achieved a couple of ‘firsts’, first Brit comic to gig in Moscow and first on the Mumbai Comedy Store too. Firsts are all well and good but he also has a pretty impressive ‘last’ when he was booked for the QE2’s last trip across the Atlantic.
He’s also been pretty impressive as an author. ‘To Be Somebody’ tells of his love of post punk band The Jam, even gaining approval from front man Paul Weller; ‘I really liked this book. I’d forgotten how shit it was in the seventies’
The Independent newspaper declared Ian to be amongst the top ten stand up comedians in Britain and the rest of the press have been pretty impressed too!
“Seriously funny” The Guardian “Ultimately, it’s the sheer quantity of funny material that impresses” The List
“Stone’s beautifully crafted stories, peppered with gags and asides were hilarious throughout.” Chortle
Once described as “Spewing out one-liners like he had just scoffed a dodgy prawn”, Scotland’s Paul Pirie‘s brand of high energy lunacy puts him very firmly in the Robin Williams school of comedic performance. Everyday tales of domestic mishap are vividly brought to life by Pirie’s manic antics. Be prepared for the unexpected and some very silly noises too.
“Hilarious rubber-faced clown” The Scotsman
Tom Wrigglesworth is best known for his live storytelling shows and Sony Award winning BBC Radio comedy programmes which take a comical and emotional look at family relationships. Alongside his comedy work, he’s used his engineering background to become a natural and engaging presenter for BBC Television and The Discovery Channel.
“The ultimate crowd pleaser” The Guardian ★★★★★ Time Out ★★★★★ Scotsman ★★★★ The Times
★★★★ Telegraph ★★★★ Evening Standard ★★★★ Sunday Times ★★★★ Metro ★★★★ The Guardian
Your evening comes complete with Sallyanne Fellowes (‘It was a pleasure to be in your joyful, joyful world, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wonderful.’ Zoe Lyons)
