‘Provides an intriguing twenty-something perspective on the current state of his nation’ The Guardian
The voice of Love Island, host of CelebAbility (both ITV2) and BAFTA-winning comedian Iain Stirling is set to embark on a 30-date tour, following performing a month-long run with brand-new stand-up show U OK HUN?X at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August. From the 1st February to the 7th April 2018, Iain will explore dinner party etiquette, feminism and the pressures on a generation brought up in a world of instant gratification in venues spanning the UK, including a date at London’s Leicester Square Theatre on Friday 23rd February.
After enjoying widespread critical acclaim for writing and voicing witty one-liners on ITV2’s hit National Television Award and Broadcast Award nominated Love Island last year, Iain has returned to narrate a third series this summer which attracted a consolidated audience of 1.9 million for the opening episode and an average of 2 million in the first week (culminating with a peak of 2.1 million on Sunday’s episode). He’s also currently on our screens hosting CelebAbility, a brand-new physical comedy entertainment show on ITV2 which sees celebrities and members of the public go head-to-head in rounds of games.
Iain’s intuitive razor-sharp humour has seen him sell out 5 shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to date and rack up numerous television credits including Virtually Famous (E4), Drunk History and Russell Howard’s Stand Up Central (both Comedy Central), Russell Howard’s Good News and Sweat the Small Stuff (both BBC Three) and Fake Reaction and Safe Word (both ITV2).
A full list of dates and tickets for U OK HUN?X are available through Iain’s website www.iaindoesjokes.com and are on general sale today, Thursday 22nd June.
