Good Ship Comedy presents Ian Stone

IAN STONE

Ranked amongst the top ten stand-ups in Britain by The Independent, Ian Stone is one of the most talented topical acts and comperes in the country. Edgy and provocative, with an easy-going manner and self-depreciating style, Ian is at great ease bantering with an audience. He is a regular on BBC Radio 5 Live's 'Fighting Talk' as well as being a presenter (and huge Gooner advocate) on BT Sport.

He has performed all over the world including Comedy Festivals in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, South Africa, Holland, France, Ireland and Germany. He’s entertained the troops in Kuwait, Bosnia,Kosovo, Cyprus and Afghanistan. He was the first British stand-up to perform in Moscow and the first performer to appear for The Comedy Store in Mumbai.

"Seriously funny." The Guardian

"Like a cross between Tony Hancock and Frankie Howerd. Stone is probably better than we deserve. Ultimately, it is the sheer quantity of funny material that really impresses." The List

ANDY FIELD

Writer and star of his own Radio 1 series The Andy Field Experience, Andy has made an impact on the comedy scene with his silly style and refreshing approach to traditional stand up.

A regular at festivals such as Latitude, Download, Bestival, Leefest and Secret Garden Party, Andy is fast becoming a familiar face at top comedy clubs around the country. He has hosted his own webseries In The Tub, in which he interviewed up-and-coming bands in the bath (of course).

His comedy seems equally as influenced by the Tibetan Book of the Dead as by Harry Hill, giving playful grounding to his remarkably daft flights of fancy.

"A set packed full of proper punchlines and a nerdy glee in sharing it.” Chortle

ROBYN PERKINS

Robyn is a multi-award-winning comedian who likes to investigate life.

When life doesn’t go to plan, Robyn uses her scientific background to explain why, whether it be a question of love and morality, decision-making or, winning a game of monopoly.

Honing her comic skills on the British, US and now Australian comedy scene, the “exceptionally charismatic” (Voice Magazine) Robyn has tackled some of life’s biggest and most emotionally charged topics on stage, and brought them right back to the audience with personal, relatable and hilarious real-life anecdotes. This has brought her international success, winning Sydney Fringe’s Comedy Award in 2019 and was a weekly winner of the comedy award at Perth FRINGE WORLD in 2020.

"Smart, engaging and funny." Chortle

AND YOUR RESIDENT HOST:

BEN VAN DER VELDE

One of the quickest wits around and a much-loved compere, he always brings a jam-packed back of nonsense, silliness and wisecracks to every gig he hosts.

"Wonderfully improvised riffs showcasing his impressive spontaneity and sharp tongue." Edinburgh Festivals Magazine

“The perfect comedy club host – he is a master of audience interaction. The audience weren’t just warmed up, but pretty hysterical even before the first act of the night hit the stage.”  Huffington Post
