STILL fresh from an outrageously successful Edinburgh Fringe run, Ivo Graham is taking The Game of Life on the road in 2020, and bringing it to Taunton.

Ivo Graham’s last show Motion Sickness left things on something of a cliffhanger. His young person’s railcard had expired, he’d got engaged to his girlfriend, and they were gearing up to start trying for a baby.

So let’s get this out of the way early: yes, he has indeed managed to secure himself one of the new 26-30 millennial railcards. Did you really think he was going to let that goldmine pass him by?

In lesser news, the train of Ivo’s daughter has indeed left the station of her mother’s womb, on a one-way journey to the general joy, maturity and self-improvement of both her parents.

Somerset County Gazette:

Now, rather than taking the year off so thoroughly recommended by family, other comics and several big dogs at the Ealing NCT, Ivo returns to touring to reflect on the past year in a show that juggles enough emotional articulacy and gleeful juvenility to delight doting fogies and frivolous commitmentphobes alike.

Apologetic Eton and Oxford alumnus Ivo started stand-up in 2009 at the age of 18, and eight months later became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award for new acts at the Edinburgh Fringe.

Since graduating three years later he has become a regular fixture in the clubs and theatres of the UK circuit, with a gauche charm and crafty, self-aware wit that has proved a hit with audiences of all ages.

Ivo has also appeared on TV and radio shows including Have I Got News For You, Live at the Apollo, Mock The Week, Live From The BBC, Hypothetical, Ultimate Worrier, The Stand Up Sketch Show, Comedy Central At The Comedy Store, As Yet Untitled, Live from the BBC, and Fighting Talk.

Ivo Graham will be at The Brewhouse in Taunton on Thursday, May at 7:30pm. Tickets cost £14.
