On Stage
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 (2009) and since establishing himself as, if not the UK’s poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian. With a bumbling charm, he’s detailed various developments in his relationships/neuroses over eight sell-out shows, receiving Best Show nomination in the Edinburgh Comedy Awards (2019).
He’s appeared on shows including Taskmaster, Have I Got News for You, QI, The Last Leg, Would I Lie to You?, Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo, Pointless, Celebrity Mastermind, The Weakest Link, and University Challenge. He’s earned his parents’ respect with appearances on Radio 4’s The Now Show, The News Quiz, and was announced as the new host of Radio 4’s Obsessions in 2023.
His debut book Yardsticks For Failure was released this year.
