Ivo Graham

Apologetic Eton and Oxford alumnus, comedian  Ivo Graham regales audiences of all ages with his delicious blend of posh guilt, awkwardness, and self-aware naivety.

Thanks to his gauche charm, he has become a regular fixture in the clubs and theatres of the UK comedy circuit.

At only 18, he became the youngest-ever winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award for new acts at the Edinburgh Fringe (2009).

This led the following year to nominations for Chortle Best Newcomer and Leicester Mercury Comedian of the Year, and performances at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival and the Hollywood Fringe.

Since leaving Oxford University in 2012, he has appeared on BBC3’s Edinburgh Comedy Fest Live and Comedy Central’s Live at the Comedy Store, as well as various shows on BBC Radio 4, Five Live, and XFM.

He has also been a panellist on Mock The Week (BBC 2), featured on Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central (Stand Up Central), appeared on Virtually Famous (E4), and is a regular on Five Live's Fighting Talk (BBC Radio 5 Live).

His two solo hours, 2013’s Binoculars and 2014’s Bow Ties & Johnnies, had sold out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and London’s Soho Theatre, and received a clutch of four and five star reviews, the latter described by the Evening Standard as 'a joyous show - if you like your comedy with long words and beautiful linguistic flourishes, buy a ticket immediately.’

Ivo's sharp intelligence, combined with his erudite wit, make him an ideal comedian for any event.
