Despite extensive grooming for more serious careers at Eton and Oxford, Ivo has spent his entire adult life on the stand-up circuit, winning So You Think You’re Funny? aged 18 in 2009 and since establishing himself as, if not the UK’s poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian. With a bumbling charm to snare audiences of all ages, he’s detailed the various developments in his relationships/neuroses over nine sell-out solo shows, receiving a nomination for Best Show in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2019.
He’s appeared on shows including Have I Got News for You, QI, The Last Leg, Would I Lie to You?, Mock the Week, and Live at the Apollo, quizzed on Pointless, Celebrity Mastermind, The Weakest Link, House of Games and University Challenge, and toured the country for Dave’s six-part travelogue British As Folk. He’s earned his parents’ respect with appearances on Radio 4’s The Now Show, The News Quiz, Just a Minute, and the drama Unite, and is a regular on 5 Live’s Fighting Talk and BT Sport’s The Football’s On. 2023 saw the launch of his podcast, Gig Pigs, co-hosted with best-friend Alex Kealy, and also saw Ivo appear as a contestant on the fifteenth series of Channel 4’s Taskmaster, and fans of his chaotic energy on that show will undoubtedly enjoy it live at Henley Festival this summer!
