Ian Smith: Foot Spa Half Empty

Thu 4 Jun
Nominated for Best Show at the Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2025

Two-time Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee Ian Smith (co-host of the Northern News podcast) heads back out on tour with his critically acclaimed new show about stress, love and buying a magic spell off Amazon.

As seen on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You and The Stand Up Sketch Show – and heard on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just A Minute and his own BBC Radio 4 series, Ian Smith is Stressed.

His last show Crushing was also shortlisted for the (ISH) Edinburgh Comedy Award, runner-up in Next Up’s “Biggest Award in Comedy” and nominated for a Chortle Award for Best Show. It was one of the Guardian’s Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2023 and featured on the British Comedy Guide’s Best Reviewed Shows of 2023.

We’re delighted to host Ian back in his hometown for his newest award-nominated show.
