A lovely piece of work by the Wiltshire wit Ivo Graham. Funny, sad, and the perfect accompaniment for any fan of his stand-up hours who wondered what on earth happened between shows.


'Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means, 'the pain from an old wound'. It's a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone'. Ivo Graham, who has watched this Mad Men clip approximately 100 times, steps away from the frivolity of his stand-up and invites you onto his own carousel: around and around, backwards and forwards, to the places he aches to go again. A searingly direct, exquisitely soundtracked story of a life, as workshopped last year in the Green. Good luck at your next meeting.

Si Hawkins' Edinburgh Fringe 2024: Going Off-Piste, with Gwyneth, Ivo and Co

To really get the best out of the Edinburgh Fringe, it's best to mix it up a bit, break up the stand-up with some weirder or worthier stuff; after all, comedy here comes in many sizes.
