Description
Feel like life is getting you down? Ian Stone will make it better. 'Seriously funny' (Guardian). 'One of the top ten comedians in Britain' (Independent). 'Ultimately, it's the sheer quantity of funny material that impresses' (List). 'Stone’s been in the business so long he makes it look easy. He’s relaxed and conversational, instinctively hitting the cadence needed to get the most out of every punchline, and the hour whizzes past' (Chortle.co.uk).Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

What a great show! I think his joke about getting a mobile home guaranteeing independence (hot on the heels of remarks about the SNP) deserves the award for Best Fringe Festival Joke. Ian was very funny.

We do not know who Nick is (review below) but his description of the show matches our experience exactly. Quick witted, Ian can draw out humour from any situation. A very funny man, and a brilliant show.

Funny if you aren't offended. How politics aren't mine but, as we used to say in America, "while I don't like what you say I will fight to the death for your right to say it".

Satire & social commentary carefully wrapped up behind joyful playfulness, great writing and solid laugh out loud jokes that made an hour fly by & seem far too short

Very funny from start to finish, including spontaneous comments and chats with the audience. Professional and in control all the way through- and daft as a brush.

Ian certainly made my day better! Laugh out loud funny the whole way through. Can't believe this is the first time I've experienced his comedy. Great show!

For the second year in succession I’m writing a review for Ian that promotes him as a brilliant standup, with a range of biting satirical observations. Ian is a really funny bloke, and is well worth an hour of your time. Works the room brilliantly and deserves bigger audiences.
Highly recommended.

Don't know how this is a free show, funniest show of my day yesterday. Non-stop laughing!

Best show of the day for us. Nearly had me cry-laughing! Would recommend anyone to watch this, unless you've recently joined the Young Conservatives.
