A faultless hour of stand-up from Ian Stone, touching on the topical while also revealing home truths, and even working in a musical interlude.


In spite of everything, Ian Stone is trying to keep it together. But what does it matter that he has all his own hair and teeth and keeps a tight control over his between-meal snacking when the country is a mess, there's war in the Middle East, and Donald Trump could be allowed back into the White House? 'A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour' **** (Times). 'Seriously funny' (Guardian). 'One of the sharpest comic minds in the country' (Romesh Ranganathan). Winner of Spirit of The Fringe 2023.
