SUMMARY:Ian Stone Announces Brighton Show ‘Ian Stone is Keeping it Togeth
 er’
DESCRIPTION:Ian Sone will embark on his first UK national tour -“... abou
 t f***ing time” - and he will perform in Brighton on 17 October at The 
 Forge - Buy Tickets \n\nIan IS keeping it together\, but only just. Yes\,
  he has all his hair and teeth and keeps tight control over his between-me
 al snacking\, but what does it matter when the Tories are still in power\,
  there’s war in the Middle East\, and Donald Trump could be allowed back
  (back!!) into the White House? How can there be such terrible pain and su
 ffering even though Ian consistently rates his WhatsApp calls\, package de
 livery and parking experience? And what happens to all the pens he buys? T
 hese and other questions will get the answers they deserve.\n\nAccording t
 o The Times\, Ian Stone is "a masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish hu
 mour." The Independent has ranked him as “one of the top ten comedians i
 n the UK\,” and The Guardian has described him as "seriously funny.” H
 is show at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe\, ‘Ian Stone will Make it Better\,
 ’ played to packed houses and won a Spirit of The Fringe award.\n\nIan i
 s also a prolific broadcaster and author known for appearing on satirical\
 , political\, and sports TV and radio shows. He currently presents "The Fo
 otball's On" on TNT Sports and hosts the "Handbrake Off"\, the Athletic’
 s Arsenal podcast\, where he talks about his favourite team\, Arsenal FC. 
 Their first live show recording in November was a sold-out success at the 
 Leicester Square Theatre in London.\n\nAs an author he wrote the book\, 
 “To Be Someone”\, part auto-biography\, part social history and part l
 ove letter to Paul Weller and The Jam. Ian has written for various publica
 tions\, his op-ed for Chortle entitled “Why is there so little political
  comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe?”\, published last year - was cited by T
 he Observer and The Guardian in an article about how “standup has taken 
 a sharp turn towards inner trauma in recent years”. Ian also had guest c
 olumns published in Men's Fitness and a monthly column in The Arsenal Mag
 azine.
