Good Ship Comedy presents Ivo Graham

IVO GRAHAM

Apologetic Eton and Oxford alumnus Ivo started stand-up in 2009 at the age of eighteen and eight months later became the youngest ever winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award for new acts at the Edinburgh Fringe. Since graduating three years later he has become a regular fixture in the clubs and theatres of the UK circuit, with a gauche charm and crafty, self-aware wit which has proved a hit with audiences of all ages, and led to appearances on multiple TV and radio shows including Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, Comedy Central At The Comedy Store, As Yet Untitled, Live From the BBC and Fighting Talk. 

"Sharp punchlines, topper gags and the unmistakable sense of a young comic finding another gear." The Scotsman

"Like Hugh Grant’s less well-adjusted younger brother." Guardian

PHIL JERROD

Phil Jerrod began his stand-up career underneath an Angus Steakhouse in 2012. Since then he has failed his PhD, walked out of his job in publishing and been entertaining audiences up and down the country with his elegant rants on the often unfathomable problems of modern life.  His innovative stream-of-consciousness style, inspired by a harsh upbringing in the cruel and unforgiving conditions of middle-class rural Warwickshire, has seen him perform in clubs, arts centres and theatres all across the UK and helped build his reputation as having grown one of the largest beards in stand-up comedy.

“Insightful, despairing wit.” The Scotsman

“Behind the beard is a comic whose instinctive mastery of his form immediately marks him out as one to watch.” The Guardian

SARAH KEYWORTH

Originally from Nottingham, Sarah Keyworth is fast-becoming a regular on the London circuit and has recently supported Stewart Francis on tour.  Her material is a mix of honest anecdotal storytelling about her Midlands upbringing, made surreal with the occasional addition of a silly observation.  She delivers sharp lines with a cheeky smile and moments of sudden deadpan that leave the audience wanting more.

"Charming." The Independent

Excellently deadpan." Huffington Post

CAROLINE MABEY

Caroline is the perfect mix of total fruitloop and mean gag-writer – always beguiling and regularly side-splitting. She has worked as an animator on the warped BBC2 cult show ‘Monkey Dust’ and was part of the team behind the popular London comedy film night Popcorn Comedy.

“The slightly deranged offspring of a menage a trois between Vic Reeves, Harry Hill and Floella Benjamin.” Evening Standard

“Kooky, quirky and delicious.” Time Out

NOEL BRODIE

Born in Luton, raised in Devon there's a lovely whiff of old-fashioned comedy charm about Noel Brodie.  Your never more than 15 seconds from a punchline with Noel's warm, accessible and robust comedy.

AND YOUR GUEST HOST:

WILL DUGGAN

Part of the team behind the anarchic Edinburgh Panel Prize winning hit 'Funz and Gamez', Will is the sardonic man behind the mask of Bonzo the dog.  He is also possessed of one of the driest wits in the land, at ease firing back and forth with audience interaction or showing off his impressive smarts on a range of subjects.

"Vibrant and risue, Duggan's comedy isn't really afraid of what you think of him - as long as you laugh that is." Edinburgh Festival Magazine

“Absorbs you so completely you don’t see the payoff coming.” Chortle
