About Ivo Graham
Since making his debut on the comedy circuit, Ivo Graham has become one of the most recognisable faces in British stand-up. Educated at Eton and the University of Oxford, where he studied French and Russian literature, he transitioned quickly from student life to the stage. He achieved early industry acclaim as the youngest winner of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny award and earned a nomination for Best Newcomer at the Chortle Awards. His sharp, self-deprecating wit has led to high-profile support slots on tour with Michael McIntyre and Josh Widdicombe.
His extensive television credits include regular appearances on Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, QI, and Have I Got News For You. In addition to being a frequent voice on BBC Radio 4 programmes such as The News Quiz and The Now Show, he has demonstrated his versatility on popular formats including Taskmaster and Richard Osman's House of Games. Recent highlights in his career include co-presenting the travelogue British as Folk and being selected as the voice of Monkey for the PG Tips advertising campaigns.
With multiple sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and a reputation for sophisticated, high-energy storytelling, Ivo Graham is an exceptional choice for live events. Audiences book him for his polished delivery, clever wordplay, and his ability to engage diverse crowds with his unique brand of intelligent humour.
On stage, Ivo Graham is best known for talks on Comedy, Stand-up and Entertainment. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
