Ian Stone Promo - Live at The Comedy Store

Ian Stone

"He looks and sounds very good indeed" Time Out
"A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour"
The Times
"Seriously funny" The Guardian

Ranked amongst the top ten stand-ups in Britain by The
Independent, Ian Stone is one of the most talented
topical acts and comperes on the circuit. Edgy and
provocative, with an easy-going manner and
self-depreciating style, Ian is at great ease
bantering with an audience. He's also a member of the
Comedy Store's critically acclaimed 'Cutting Edge'
team.
He has performed all over the world including Comedy
Festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South
Africa, Holland, France, Ireland and Germany (not many
Jewish comedians have performed there in the last
fifty years). He has also performed to 55,000 people
in 40 days on tour with Ardal O'Hanlon and Alan
Davies. He has headlined gigs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
in the Middle East, performed on the final
transatlantic crossing of The QE2, entertained troops
in Kuwait and Bosnia and played various clubs in New
York. He has headlined at the prestigious Yuk-Yuk
clubs in Canada, compered the main theatre at the Cape
Town Comedy Festival 2003 and performed his one-man
show in South Africa's Camps Bay Theatre in 2004. More
recently he became the first British stand-up to
perform in Moscow.
1996 saw him venture northwards to The Edinburgh
Festival with his first solo show. Since then, he's
performed three more solo shows, the last one in 2006
with a brand new show, Embrace The Chaos which ran at
The Underbelly and was very well received including a
five star review in the Herald

"...like a cross between Tony Hancock and Frankie
Howerd. Stone is probably better than we deserve.
"Ultimately, it is the sheer quantity of funny
material that really impresses". The List
"A rare treat" The Herald


Ian's many television appearances include The Last
Word (MORE4), The Late Edition (BBC4),The World Stands
Up (Paramount Comedy 2005) The Comedy Store (Ch5 - 3

Buzzcocks (BBC 2), Mock The Week (BBC2), The Stand-Up
Show (BBC 1), Saturday Live (ITV), Live at Jongleurs
(ITV) & The 11 O'clock Show (CH4).
On radio Ian hosted his own chat show "The Big
Schmooze", on BBC London, where he interviewed the
likes of Jeremy Issacs, Terry Hall, Anthony Sher and
Esther Rantzen. Following his stint in America, he was
invited to have a live discussion with Jackie Mason on
BBC Radio 4's Front Row on the subject of Jewish
comedians. He has appeared on The Paul Ross Show
(LBC), The Worricker Programme (Radio 5 Live) and
Fighting Talk (Radio 5 Live). He has also appeared
twice on 'Four at the Store' (BBC Radio 4) and being
commissioned to do a number of specials for BBC Radio
7.
Ian has written gags for ITV's The Sketch Show and
Alistair Mcgowans Big Impression (BBC 1) and is also a
regular contributor to the Guardian, The Observer and
The Independent On Sunday. He is currently busy
developing several original ideas for television, and
has a sitcom in development with the BBC. He's also an
accomplished and experienced corporate performer;

I love Ian Stone, though I would like to point out that making a joke about Israel does not mean he's anti-Israel. Sometimes a joke is just a joke.

Better than Jackie Mason !
