Ivo Graham: Grand Design
Following Ivo's tenth run at the Edinburgh Fringe, he's hitting the road in October with his very highly acclaimed show Grand Design.
Ivo's feeling the pressure. Last year, riding the wave of his shambolic performance in Taskmaster, he played to the biggest audiences of his career, but in keeping with said shambolic performance, he gave himself too much to do and crumbled under the pressure. Proud of his ambition, embarrassed by his execution: we've been here before, old friend.
He's called his show Grand Design, invoking the spirit of Kevin McCloud surveying a great folly and waiting to find out if the relationship survived (it didn't). He knows what a risk this all is, but he also knows that he's spent the last decade proving himself as one of the most engaging stand-ups of his generation, a wordsmith with a unique turn of phrase and a life that hasn't exactly dried up when it comes to source material. This is his moment to seize.
