About this Event

Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ian Smith (co-host of the Northern News podcast) heads back out on tour with a new show about stress, love and buying a magic spell off Amazon.


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.




His last show Crushing was also 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.




“Effortlessly brilliant” ★★★★ Scotsman
“There are few fringe shows as purely funny as this” ★★★★ Guardian
“An outstanding and stressed-out hour of stand-up” ★★★★ Fest
“The hilarity just keeps coming… he has excelled himself” ★★★★ Beyond the Joke
“Ian Smith turns incredulity into an art form, confirming his status as the undisputed sultan of nerve-shredding stress” Rolling Stone
