Ian Stone, The Attic, Totton

EDINBURGH Fringe Festival favourite and Arsenal Magazine columnist Ian Stone is set to appear at The Attic in Totton on Friday 18th October as part of his first UK tour.

Hailed as a masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour, his show Ian Stone is Keeping it Together ponders many of life’s tricky dilemmas.

As he admits, Ian is keeping it together but only just.

He has all his own hair and teeth and keeps a tight control over his between meal snacking but what does it matter when 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 suffering in the world, when Ian always rates his WhatsApp calls, package delivery and parking experience? And what happens to all the pens he buys? These and other questions will get the answers they deserve.

Ian is a prolific broadcaster and author, known for his appearances on satirical, political, and sports TV and radio shows. Currently, he presents The Football’s On and hosts the Handbrake Off, the Athletic’s Arsenal podcast, where he talks about his favourite team, Arsenal FC. Their first live show recording last year was a sold-out success at the Leicester Square Theatre in London.

As an author he wrote the book, To Be Someone, part auto-biography, part social history and part love letter to Paul Weller and The Jam. Ian also writes guest columns in Men’s Fitness, and a monthly column in The Arsenal Magazine.

Tickets are £15. For more information and bookings visit theatticsouthampton.co.uk
