Ian Stone to search for life's missing magic in 2026 tour
- Stand-up tour Ian Stone Is Looking For The Wow will run between January and June 2026
- "Life could be so much better - so I'm on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt"
New stand-up show Ian Stone Is Looking For The Wow will tour between January and June 2026.
The comedian's promoters say: "Ian Stone is back - and he's searching for life's missing magic. Whether on stage, behind the mic, or in print, Ian Stone is the voice of sharp humour, biting insight, and perfectly crafted comedy."
Talking about the premise of his new show, Stone says: "Life can't just be the humdrum, the mundane, and the routine before the inevitable slide into disease, decay, and death. Why can't we sneak in a bit of awesome, a tad of amazing, and maybe a smidge of wonderful? A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some, but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years - I think we've been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual, but I've been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah - forty-nine years ago. 'God will be watching,' she said. Well, at least he got to see the game. The point is, life could be so much better - so I'm on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt."
