Edinburgh Fringe
Ivo Graham: Organised Fun
After dismantling a barge (Taskmaster), doxxing himself in the Doubletree (Off Menu), and blanking on the 1992 Ipswich Town crest (University Challenge), Ivo ropes his audience into more chaos against the clock. 'Humiliation's your thing, right?' His brother asked him at Christmas, and with the full existential ramifications of that still being processed, he's lining up a show with more risk than ever before (NB: previous shows have broadly been quite low risk). Expect quizzes, tangents and fluster. Best Show/Joke nominee 2019. 'Motormouthed finesse' **** (Times). 'I could watch him natter all day' (Telegraph). **** (Guardian).

Bruce Dessau & Tim Bano, Evening Standard, 24th July 2023Ivo Graham interview
"While I must stress that I am proud of my written stand-up, and also that my improvisational instincts often lead me down the most miserable of cul de sacs, I do broadly think that overall yes I'm at the 'thriving on risk' end of the spectrum."
Caroline Whitham, Edinburgh Festivals, 20th July 2023Ivo Graham: 'My best heckle? Can you get money back from Eton?!'
The stand-up on his hateful first gig, battling with comedian DJs and whether he was right to pick A Fish Called Wanda as his funniest film.
