About The Author
Ivo Graham
Ivo Graham, despite being groomed for more serious careers at Eton and Oxford, has spent his adult life on the stand-up circuit. He won So You Think You’re Funny? at 18 in 2009 and has since become known as, if not the UK’s poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian. His 2019 show The Game of Life received nominations for Best Show and Best Joke at the Edinburgh Fringe.
He’s appeared on TV comedies including Have I Got News for You, QI, The Last Leg, Mock the Week, and Live at the Apollo, quizzed with varying degrees of success on Pointless, House of Games and University Challenge, and toured the country with Fern Brady and Darren Harriott for Dave’s six-part travelogue British as Folk. He’s appeared on Radio 4’s The Now Show, The News Quiz, Just a Minute, and the drama Unite, and frequently references Swindon Town on 5 Live’s Fighting Talk and BT Sport’s The Football’s On.
In 2023, Ivo appeared as a contestant on the fifteenth series of Channel 4’s Taskmaster, and fans of his chaotic energy can see it live on his My Future, My Clutter tour, before he travels to Edinburgh and then nationwide with his new show, Organised Fun.
