Ranked amongst the top ten
stand-ups in Britain by The
Independent, Ian Stone is one
of the most talented
topical acts and comperes on
the circuit. Edgy and
provocative, with an
easy-going manner and
self-depreciating style, Ian
is at great ease
bantering with an audience.
He's also a member of the
Comedy Store's critically
acclaimed 'Cutting Edge'
team.
He has performed all over the
world including Comedy
Festivals in Australia, New
Zealand, Hong Kong, South
Africa, Holland, France,
Ireland and Germany (not many
Jewish comedians have
performed there in the last
fifty years). He has also
performed to 55,000 people
in 40 days on tour with Ardal
O'Hanlon and Alan
Davies. He has headlined gigs
in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
in the Middle East, performed
on the final
transatlantic crossing of The
QE2, entertained troops
in Kuwait and Bosnia and
played various clubs in New
York. He has headlined at the
prestigious Yuk-Yuk
clubs in Canada, compered the
main theatre at the Cape
Town Comedy Festival 2003 and
performed his one-man
show in South Africa's Camps
Bay Theatre in 2004. More
recently he became the first
British stand-up to
perform in Moscow.
1996 saw him venture
northwards to The Edinburgh
Festival with his first solo
show. Since then, he's
performed three more solo
shows, the last one in 2006
with a brand new show, Embrace
The Chaos which ran at
The Underbelly and was very
well received including a
five star review in the Herald

'...like a cross between Tony
Hancock and Frankie
Howerd. Stone is probably
better than we deserve.
'Ultimately, it is the sheer
quantity of funny
material that really
impresses'. The List
'A rare treat' The Herald
