Description

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.

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.
