About this Event

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ian Smith (co-host of the Northern News podcast) heads back out on tour with a new show about stress, love and buying a magic spell off Amazon.

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and The Stand Up Sketch Show - and heard on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just A Minute and his own Radio 4 series, Ian Smith is Stressed.

His last show Crushing was also shortlisted for the (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Award, runner-up in Next Up’s “Biggest Award in Comedy” and nominated for a Chortle Award for Best Show. It was one of the Guardian’s Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023 and featured on the British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows of 2023.
