Description
Ian Stone co-wrote a sketch for Rainbow — and it got surprisingly wild.
Ian Stone is a comedian and writer known for his sharp wit and insightful commentary on contemporary issues, a veteran of the UK comedy scene with appearances including Never Mind the Buzzcocks and a career spanning stand-up, television, and writing.
- How he tackles divisive topics on stage — and why some of his older material feels oddly current right now
- Why Billy Connolly's legendary Parkinson appearances represent the absolute height the form can reach
- The genius of Ronnie Barker's comic delivery in Porridge — and why it still holds up completely
- What it was really like appearing on Never Mind the Buzzcocks — and the challenges of writing books versus turning up on television
