Ian Smith Is Stressed

Ian is always stressed about something, and now he's getting told off by his jobsworth dentist for grinding his teeth in his sleep - which is stressing him out even more! In this series, Ian is taking his critically acclaimed ranting stand-up and applying it to the never-ending list of things that stress us out, as well as some of the more bizarre methods of relaxation.

Mixing stand-up, outings and expert help, Ian will take a chill pill, wash it down with a couple of Red Bulls, and see if he can get back on good terms with his dentist. Each episode he'll explore a different subject, all the reasons we find it stressful and the things people say we can do to help.

In this series Ian will talk about The North, the body, love and holidays - he goes to a farm to hug a cow, attends a topless body painting party, has a dip in an ice bath with his girlfriend and tries to land a passenger plane with no training.

Is stand-up still enjoyable when you can hear the performer's back being cracked by a chiropractor? Let's find out!
