Ian Stone

Ian Stone

30 Jan 2026 - 30 Jan 2026

Following a sold-out tour and international success, Ian Stone is back – and he’s searching for life’s missing magic: “There has to be more to life than the humdrum and the routine before the inevitable slide into disease, decay, and death. Why can’t we sneak in a hint of awesome, a tad of amazing, and maybe a smidge of wonderful? Where you get is your business. A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some, but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years — I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual, but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah — forty-nine years ago. “God will be watching,” she said. Well, at least He got to see the game. The point is, life could be so much better — so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.” Ian Stone is a hugely experienced broadcaster, podcaster and writer and a brilliantly funny comedian. He performs at major comedy festivals and venues globally. His popular posts and reels on social media have quickly earned him a following of over 60k across BlueSky, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, amassing millions of views. In the last four years, Ian has performed his one-man shows at the Edinburgh Festival to packed rooms and great reviews. In 2023, he won the prestigious Spirit of the Fringe Award. He took his last show on tour across the UK, finishing with a sold-out performance at London’s Comedy Store. Ian recently returned from making his debut at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Aside from stand-up comedy, Ian currently presents a very popular (50k downloads per episode), twice-weekly Arsenal podcast, Handbrake Off, for The Athletic. A live version of the podcast recently sold out Leicester Square Theatre in London. Ian is also a regular contributor on Times Radio. His book To Be Someone was published in 2020 and has received nearly 500 four- and five-star reviews on Amazon. Whether on stage, behind the mic, or in print, Ian Stone is the voice of sharp humour, biting insight, and perfectly crafted comedy.

Open Mic Roast Comedy Night

Open Mic Roast Comedy Night

10 Jan 2026 - 10 Jan 2026

The Double G Roast & Toast is not your average comedy night; it's a full-scale comedic battlefield where sharp tongues clash and egos are left in ashes. At the heart of this savage spectacle is a no-holds-barred roast battle, pitting stand-up comedians against one another in a ruthless contest of wit, cruelty, and comic timing. These aren't friendly jabs; they're deep cuts, with every flaw, failure, and faux pas dragged into the spotlight for maximum laughs and maximum damage. James Harris, the unflinching Roast Master, presides over the madness with a wicked grin and a mic that could double as a guillotine. Under his rule, no one is safe, not the performers, not the audience, not even the host himself. Each round gets hotter, meaner and more outrageous as competitors verbally annihilate one another in pursuit of the supreme title: Roaster of the Month. Expect gasps, belly-laughs, and the kind of roasting that might just leave lifelong scars. But this isn't just comedy, it's Double G Comedy; bold, brutal, and brilliantly hilarious. The Roast & Toast is where reputations are made or obliterated in minutes, where the line between comedy and carnage blurs, and where only the sharpest survive. Come for the jokes, stay for the carnage and leave grateful you weren't on stage.
