Ivo graham was the youngest ever winner of “so you think you’re funny” 2009 and was subsequently signed by the biggest stand up talent agency in the UK, . He was nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2010 Chortle award in 2019 he was nominated at Edinburgh Festival for the Dave Edinburgh Comedy Awards for Best Show for his show entitled The Game Of Life.

He has also as made numerous television appearances.

Did you know Ivo attended Eton? Seems like this privileged education comes with a lifelong support network, the Eton connection pops up numerous times as we journey through the last couple of difficult lockdown years. It now seems standard fare for stand-up comedians to start with the Zoom gigs, the strange hotels, and the even stranger audience behaviours. We turn to more serious matters, we hear of the traumatic relationship breakdown during COVID lockdown, once again the Eton network provides entertaining solutions.

Ivo is not one for firing off the one liners he’s more of a Skilled storyteller, and he spins his tale in a very endearing style, an uplifting well natured show.

Quality material and well worth seeing.
