Ivo steps away from the frivolity of his stand-up and invites you onto his own carousel: a searingly direct, exquisitely soundtracked story of a life.

“Teddy told me that in Greek, nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than memory alone.”

Ivo, who has watched this Mad Men clip approximately 100 times, steps away from the frivolity of his stand-up and invites you onto his own carousel: around and around, backwards and forwards, to the places he aches to go again.

A searingly direct, exquisitely soundtracked story of a life: good luck at your next meeting.

 

The artist will be donating a share of profits to the Adam Brace Award.
