TweetIan Stone is a "A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour" according to
The Times, he’s been ranked “one of the top ten comedians in the UK” by the The
Independent and The Guardian said that he’s "Seriously funny”. His show at the
2023 Edinburgh fringe ‘Ian Stone will Make it Better’, played to packed houses and
won a Spirit of The Fringe award.
His new show is called Ian Stone is Keeping it Together. In spite of everything.
What does it matter that he has all his own hair and teeth and keeps a tight control
over his between meal snacking when there’s war in the middle east and Donald
Trump could be allowed back (back!!) into the White House? How can there be
such terrible pain and suffering in the world even though Ian always rates his
WhatsApp call, package delivery and parking experience? And what happens to all
the pens he buys? These and other questions will get the answers they deserve.
Ian is a hugely experienced broadcaster, podcaster, writer and brilliantly funny
comedian. He performs at all the major comedy venues/festivals in the UK and
around the world. He’s recently begun posting reels on Instagram, Tik Tok,
Facebook and X and very quickly built up a following of over seventy thousand. His
reels have had millions of hits.
When he’s not doing stand up comedy, Ian hosts the Handbrake Off Arsenal
podcast for The Athletic. They recently did their second live show at a sold out
Leicester Square theatre.
He wrote To Be Someone, a book about growing up as a teenager and loving The
Jam. It’s had over five hundred four and five star reviews on Amazon and
Goodreads. Paul Weller gave him a quote for the front cover.
For five years, he co-hosted the award winning Rock N Roll Football on Absolute
Radio with Ian Wright.

This could have been an excellent night, but slightly ruined by some in the audience

Arrived early, not the clearest on where we should have been sitting, so missed some of the show…. Once realised, all staff members and management team were some of the kindest people I’ve ever met!!👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you again…💚💜🧡

I think the standard to the venue warrants the price. Staff were very friendly. The venue was very cold and I feel that a comedy night needs more people. The acts were very substandard. The first act was substandard but I think it was great how hard he was trying therefore we still enjoyed it. The second act was ok but I didn’t enjoy the man-hating which divided the room but, I guess it is what Norwich is becoming known for. The last act was great. Really energetic and he commanded the attention of the room. I think hopefully with a warmer room and more people it would have felt a lot better. Wouldn’t it be lovely if Norwich wasn’t just all about families and welcomed more single people. I think most have left for Bristol and London tbh. I appreciate it’s very challenging at the moment in Norfolk so please keep going! 👌🏻💪🏻
