A rising young star of the standup circuit, the unapologetically posh Ivo delivers observations about his life and awkwardness with charm and self-deprecation. The So You Think You’re Funny award winner has been described as delivering “joyous comedy with long words and beautiful linguistic flourishes”.


Biography

Despite extensive grooming for more serious careers at Eton and Oxford, Ivo Graham has spent his entire adult life on the comedy circuit, establishing himself as, if not the UK’s poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian.

Within just a few years of starting to perform he was the youngest ever winner of the acclaimed, So You Think You’re Funny new comedy award. He’s also performed at the prestigious Montreal comedy festival, and other festivals around the world.

He has appeared on Have I Got News For You, QI, The Last Leg, Mock The Week and Live At The Apollo. Ivo can also be heard on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show, The News Quiz, and the drama Unite.

He has supported Josh Widdicombe and Michael McIntyre on tour, as well as having written material for The Last Leg and Mock The Week, and BBC 5 Live’s Fighting Talk.
