Having a bad night's sleep has an effect on your whole day; having not slept well for 30+ years changes the way you see the world. Throw in pain to keep you company and that’s enough to send you over the edge. Bad in Bed: From Arthritis to Insomnia is a new comedy show exploring the world you see when you haven’t slept well. Loud and explosive, but always funny. Bad in Bed is one to see.

Ian TC had me in stitches for the entire show jumping from joke to joke at a very fast pace, from insomnia to arthritis was hilarious and I would recommend you try and catch a show before it finishes don’t miss out; a fantastic comedian.

Very funny show! A lot of energy for a guy who hasn’t had much sleep. Clever jokes. Would recommend.

Rapid-fire, very clever jokes - sometimes Ian has a a second gag hidden within a line which you only realise a few moments later. The leaflet is right - Ian's delivery is reminiscent of Biy Connolly, with humanity hidden behind every sparky outburst of comedic anger. Definitely worth going to see!

As someone who has both insomnia and arthritis, when I was handed a flier for Ian TC it seemed a no brainer. I laughed so much, I would definitely recommend a lunch time laugh at the beehive.

Genuinely hilarious. Anarchic, off-kilter but inherently human at heart. Would highly recommend!

Ian TC’s Bad in Bed was very, very funny!
Quick-fire punchlines give you little time to recover…
Highly recommended and can be quite relatable.
