My radio 4 series starts next week!
Ian Smith is Stressed
@BBCRadio4
at 6.30pm
Wed 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th August
A stand-up series all about stress and unique ways to relax. Featuring cow-hugging, topless body painting, ice baths and landing a plane.
It’s getting pretty heated now. The salary comment is pretty mean. How much do I earn? Think they’re going for taxi. Driven all this way for nothing...
7 years ago I worked in the bath mat department at John Lewis Oxford Street. It was the strangest period of my life. Here are some true stories from my time there...
NEWS! I’m very excited to say that
@BBCRadio4
have commissioned me to write a show.
It’s a half hour comedy documentary about (and I’m not making this up) the time when three girls got stuck in basketball hoops in my home town, Goole.
Expected to slam dunk into your ears in May!
Very happy to get to record an episode of LIVE AT THE APOLLO last night! Dream come true - and such a fun gig!
Big thanks to everyone at
@OpenMike_TV
and my agents
@ebdonmgt
Coming soon!
EDINBURGH FRINGE 2023 IS DONE!
I couldn't have asked for a better time - ending with the absolute dream come true of being nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award, as well as being shortlisted for the (ISH) Award for Best Show and NextUps Biggest Award in Comedy...
I guess stand-up comedy is cancelled again.
I wish I’d chosen a job where I don’t need a group of people nearby to do it - like being a teacher, working in a busy office or a full contact sport...
Also - covid has meant I’ve lost a lot of comedy work... If you’ve enjoyed the thread and would like to help me out with a small donation (I hate doing this) you can here (I completely get it’s a crap time for everyone):
If I were still on
@FullTimeDEVILS
I’d be absolutely losing my mind.
You wouldn’t need the volume on. Just look at my face getting redder for 5 minutes.
(THREAD) I had my first vaccine dose today and it was a bit of an odd experience. Wanted to tell everyone who hasn't had theirs yet so they know what to expect...
What a joy to record my Just a Minute debut at the Edinburgh Fringe with the brilliant Sue and Gyles. This was my best attempt to smile after 5 hours sleep...
A privilege tonight to be with my beautiful friend
@sueperkins
& the dazzling
@Iansmithcomedy
as he made a simply sensational debut on the
@edfringe
recording of
#JustAMinute
… we had fun! This is one to listen out for!
The truth behind the ERIC thread...
The first three messages and reply are genuine, but there was no response! SO - the rest is a conversation me and
@thisstuartlaws
had, sat opposite each other laughing!
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
I'm going on my debut tour - taking my Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show around the UK next year. Get your tickets now!

Finding it hard to get up in the morning during
#CoronaVirus
isolation?
Why not sing and dance along to this song for children about waking up that I’ve added myself into...
Last show done yesterday!
Big thank you to everyone who came along to see it, it means a lot. I think it’s the best show I’ve done and I’ve really enjoyed performing it this month!
Wake up, wake up, give yourself a shake up...
