Comedian Ian Smith has released his acclaimed 2023 show Crushing online.

Nominated for that year's prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award at August's Festival Fringe, it has now been filmed by 800 Pound Gorilla and is available through their website's "Pick Your Price" scheme before becoming generally available from 11th March.

They explain: "Goole's best cultural (and possibly most frazzled) export brings his show to our screens. Brace yourself for an unforgettable ride where tales of love, stress, and an absurd adventure driving a tank in Slovakia with his hairdresser collide.

"Expect tales about the quirks of life, from the (condescending) charm of posh Southerners, to the enigma of human teeth, to the oddity of sausage and baked bean pie (served with, yes, more sausage and beans on the side). And don't miss his thoughts on the ever-controversial letter H - it's a masterclass in turning life's stressiest moments into comedy gold."
