About Ian Moore
Ian Moore is a premier standup comedian and a regular headliner at the renowned London Comedy Store. A versatile performer on the global stage, he has toured with high-profile comedy figures such as Jack Dee and Dara Ó Briain and earned praise from The Guardian as one of the nation's leading comics. His television and radio presence is extensive, including a winning appearance on Richard Osman’s House of Games and regular contributions to BBC Radio 4's The Now Show.
Beyond the comedy circuit, Moore is a celebrated literary talent. He is the author of the bestselling Follet Valley and Juge Lombard mystery series, with his debut novel Death and Croissants translated into twelve languages and optioned for television. His literary achievements include a nomination for the Lilian Jackson Braun Memorial Award at the 2025 Edgar Awards and an invitation to contribute to the P.G.

Audiences book him for his expert timing, professional delivery and unique ability to blend high-calibre comedy with engaging storytelling.
