Run by @dartmoorsfinest.
About:
☆ Oh, hello! I’m Mskie (aka Katy, if we’re going by actual names!). ☆ I’ve been a fan of Ivo’s since around 2012 when he first popped onto Josh Widdicombe’s old radio show (RIP XFM) and have been keeping up with his shenanigans ever since. You might know me from The Last Leg fansite I run?
My Ivo Gig Stories:
☆ Liverpool, April 2024: After seeing Ivo supporting Josh a couple of times, I finally got to see one of his own shows (Organised Fun) in Liverpool and got to meet him afterwards. He’s the sweetest little thing! I’ve got a lovely story about that, but maybe I’ll keep it for a rainy day. ❤️ ☆ Manchester, Sept 2024: I got to have such a lovely catch-up with Ivo at Laughterama, the day after his 34th birthday! ☆ Leicester, Nov 2024: After his Grand Design tour show, along with his BFF/Gig Pig, the equally-lovely Alex Kealy. ☆ Manchester, Dec 2024: I got to chat with him again after at his Live at Christmas show! ☆ Carousel (Night 1), Manchester, March 6th 2025: A long, overdue catch-up after two very emotional Carousel shows from Ivo. Was pleased to give him a copy of his recent The Stage article about the show (and a Fontaines D.C. magnet!), along with an article mentioning the protest for his beloved Swindon Town F.C. he took part in over Christmas - which he was made up about, bless him! ☆ Carousel (Night 2), Manchester, March 7th 2025: A brief hello the following day after an equally emotional third and final, Carousel show. ☆ Carousel (Round 4), London, June 5th 2025: With a friend in tow, we had a brief hello with Ivo before that evening's Carousel and even saw his mum & dad heading in too! ☆ Carousel (Round 5), London, June 6th 2025: On a boiling hot Friday in Soho, this was Ivo's penultimate day of doing the show and yes, there was a quick hello on his way in! ☆ Carousel (Rounds 6 & 7), London, June 7th 2025: Ivo's final day of Carousel concluded with two shows at the Soho (afternoon/evening). We said hello again on his way in, along with some tiny company... his daughter! They signed copies of Yardsticks together after the matinee - the BEST team!
☆ Rhys James & Ivo Graham In Conversation, Manchester, September 17th 2025: A special, one-off show where Ivo took on interviewing duties to chat to his friend, Rhys James about his book. We got treated to a bonus standup set from Ivo! Of course, I had another lovely catch-up with my fave afterwards too! ☆ Orange Crush, Salford, October 28th 2025: Ivo's orange show arrived in Salford for his mini-tour, in all his orange glory! Absolutely chaotic, as ever. Of course, we said hello afterwards while signing more copies of Yardsticks & gave him an old Swindon Town match programme too! 🍊 ☆ OTK's Comedy Crackers - Hosted by Ivo, Leicester, December 1st 2025: Another visit to see Ivo hosting a Christmas show in Leicester! He handed out Leicester City FC cards and Celebrations along with his Lush Palestine “woke soaps” to the front row!
☆ Ivo’s Twenty Years of Whatever (Arctic Monkeys 20th Anniversary Clubnight), Manchester, January 30th 2026: Kickstarting a new year by celebrating 20 years of the Arctic Monkeys’ debut album via a ridiculous amount of nostalgia with Ivo in Manchester! I even gained a new title off him which I’ll cherish forever!
☆ Orange Crush (Round 2!), Leeds, June 17th 2026: Crossing off a new place to go and see Ivo, by visiting the lovely City Varieties in Leeds for the final show of Ivo’s Orange Crush spring/summer tour! I met a lot of lovely legends before, during & after Ivo’s show. We definitely got him in football fanboy mode as he was clashing with England’s World Cup match versus Croatia!!
Fair to say... Ivo's the BEST. HUMAN. EVER. 🧡

Misc.
☆ British Comedy Guide - lists many of Ivo's TV and radio appearances, along with any press articles written about him. (There's also IMDB listing his TV/writing credits) ☆ Chortle tends to have updates and reviews about some of Ivo's upcoming and past gigs. ☆ Taskmaster Series 15 (UK / Outside the UK) - the series Ivo was a contestant on, and infamously finished last. Got branded as a "yardstick for failure". ☆ British As Folk - a (sadly, short-lived) comedy travelogue for Dave/UKTV which Ivo was part of alongside fellow comedians Fern Brady and Darren Harriott, where they travelled around the UK discovering and interrogating different stereotypes/traditions which make up British life today. ☆ Ivo Graham's Obsessions - Originally hosted by Joe Lycett, Ivo took over the Radio 4 panel show in October 2024. In each episode, Ivo focuses on the weird and wonderful things loved by his guests and the general public. Each episode ends with Ivo crowning a member of audience as a VOP (Very Obsessed Person). ☆ Carousel - Ivo's debut into the world of theatre! His "least funny show and best show", Ivo shares with us a handful of stories from the last few years of his increasingly chaotic life, based around 10 Things You'll Never Throw Away and music that he loves. He first performed Carousel at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2023 as a WIP ("Graham In The Green"), returning the following year and then taking it on tour around the UK in (March-April) 2025, finishing with a week at the Soho Theatre in June 2025. There's definitely tears, sprinkled with regret! No one lives like he does... ☆ Comedians' DJ Battles - A comedy club night, hosted by Ivo, which has already had runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and Machynlleth Comedy Festival. Teams of comedians are pitted against each other to play a handful of songs ("bangers") - setting them on a brief (e.g. the alphabet, year etc) and the audience then votes for their favourites. Ivo's also got Powerpoints made up with things like lyrics and chants to commentate on too! ☆ Finally, Ivo has written a book called Yardsticks for Failure (released on May 22nd 2025) which is him waffling on about his increasingly chaotic life. Including calamities such as dashing for the last train home after his shows, along with his love of music and stories from his time on Taskmaster. You can find the Masterpost with all the promo things in here.
