Humdingers Comedy Presents:

Ivo Graham and Support

Join us for our first night in our lovely new venue, The Abbey Theatre, for another night of top quality comedy.

HEADLINER: IVO GRAHAM

Apologetic Eton and Oxford alumnus Ivo started stand-up in 2009 at the age of eighteen. Eight months later he became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award at the Edinburgh Fringe. Since then he has become a regular fixture in comedy clubs around the UK, with a gauche charm and crafty, self-aware wit which has proved a hit with audiences, and led to appearances on multiple TV shows including Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, Comedy Central At The Comedy Store & Live From the BBC.

His five solo stand-up shows have enjoyed sell-out runs at Edinburgh and London’s Soho Theatre, his latest, “Motion Sickness” garnered rave reviews this summer.

As the Evening Standard put it, ‘if you like your comedy with long words and beautiful linguistic flourishes, buy a ticket immediately’.
