Opening Act Ian Murphy

Ian is new to comedy at 52. His failed football career and loss of £1M live on ITV in front of 10M viewers have seen him take up the mic as it’s much cheaper than therapy. Current Devon Comedian of the Year Ian has been described as “An exceptionally confident entertainer, delivering humour that resonates brilliantly. A definite standout new act to keep an eye on!” - Ben Milden, Torquay Comedy Club
