Ian Smith - Anything

Ian Smith (BBC2's Popatron, Sky's Officially Special) is an award-winning stand-up comedian. Ian (bearded) has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting young acts on the circuit. This is his debut hour about that tricky, restrictive theme, anything. It's a shambling show about childhood, things that have happened, frustration, embarrassment, and things that haven't happened. Bring an extra pair of socks, the ones you're wearing will get blown off (by the comedy). ***** (ThreeWeeks). **** (Scotsman). 'Fantastically funny' (Times). 'Delightfully offbeat writing ... a talent, for sure' (Chortle.co.uk).
