Show 19: Ivo Graham: Educated Guess

Having seen his show a couple of years ago I was interested to see what Ivo had to offer this year.

He's exploring his privileged life again and lamenting the fact that he's growing up and soon to lose his young person's railcard. He's also done a remarkable feat of learning all the MPs of the UK, their constituency and their party - it makes for a thrilling game towards the end of the show.

Along the way we've got tales of his time at Eton, the awkwardness of going on holiday with his parents (though this seems to be a common occurrence - I'm sure he had similar material the other year) plumped with affable quips and jokes poking fun at his position of privilege and relative comfort.

He's a chap who's sure of himself but still with a charming helping of self-deprecation and a hint of shyness (or possibly posh bumbling, which makes him somehow all the more loveable).

A solid hour from an assured comedian.
