BFH4 Ivo Graham

Stand-up comedian Ivo Graham, better known for his chaos than his comedy, lists his hopeless ambitions in his new memoir Yardsticks For Failure: A journey down the sinkhole of not getting stuff done.

Piling his plate higher than ever, he aims to host the greatest club night of all time, run a sub-three hour marathon while pushing a wheelchair, and put his heart on the line in a show unlike anything he's done before. Can these dreams become a reality, or will they just become more yardsticks for failure?

Despite extensive grooming for more serious careers at Eton and Oxford, Ivo Graham has spent his entire adult life on the stand-up circuit, winning So You Think You're Funny? aged only 18 in 2009, and since establishing himself as, if not the UK's poshest, then certainly its most apologetically posh comedian.  Ivo has appeared on TV and Radio shows Have I Got News for You, QI, Live at the Apollo, The Now Show and Just a Minute. 2023 saw Ivo appear as a contestant on the fifteenth series of Channel 4's Taskmaster.
