Ivo Graham is to release a new stand-up special ‘Live from the Bloomsbury Theatre’, set to be released as a special on the 5th April 2024. Produced and distributed by 800 Pound Gorilla Media, the special will be available to watch on their website as part of a “name your own price” offer. It will then be available on 800 Pound Gorilla Media’s Youtube Channel on the 2nd May 2024.
After two years of global/domestic chaos (“lockdown is over, the boys are back in town”), Ivo blasts through his most urgent concerns of the early 2020s, plus a few from the late 1990s, in the show first performed as “My Future, My Clutter” at the 2022 Fringe, beautifully filmed in London at the end of his UK tour in May 2023, with a freshly ironed shirt, a handful of schoolboy stories and a really quite outlandish amount of lamps on the stage.
It's all here, if by "all" you mean go karting regulations, Radio One text-ins, Eagles documentaries, and KFC's social media presence. Or, indeed, nuclear fallout, Peppa Pig World, Daniel Craig announcing the weekend, and the politics of your favourite malt loaf. How about wordles in nightclubs, risottos on Zoom, masks on stag dos, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s red card against Newcastle in 1998? Ivo is unpacking the whole feelings box of his life for you, and he's hopeful and confident that you'll enjoy it. Or, to put it more succinctly: ladies and gentlemen, the special.
Despite extensive grooming for more serious careers at Eton and Oxford, Ivo (now 33) has spent his entire adult life on the comedy circuit, winning So You Think You’re Funny? aged 18 in 2009 and since establishing himself as, if not the UK’s poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian. With a bumbling charm to snare audiences of all ages, he’s detailed the various developments in his relationships/neuroses over eight sell-out solo shows, receiving nominations for Best Show and Best Joke in Edinburgh for 2019’s ‘The Game of Life’.
