‘Ian Smith turns incredulity into an art form, confirming his status as the undisputed sultan of nerve-shredding stress.’
As seen on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and The Stand Up Sketch Show – and heard on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just A Minute and his own Radio 4 series, Ian Smith is Stressed. Co-host of the Northern News Podcast with Amy Gledhill.
His last show Crushing was shortlisted for the (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Award, runner-up in Next Up’s Biggest Award in Comedy and nominated for a Chortle Award for Best Show. It was one of the Guardian’s Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023 and featured on the British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows of 2023.
