BAFTA-winning comedian Iain Stirling is best known as the brilliantly funny voice of the hit reality show Love Island (ITV2), which is now in its eighth series. Following his success on Love Island, Iain appeared in series 8 of Taskmaster (Dave), and took on the role of host for ITV2’s comedy entertainment show, CelebAbility (now in its fifth series). His sitcom, Buffering, a brand new comedy written, created by and starring Iain debuted on ITV2 in 2021.
Iain’s book Not Ready to Adult Yet was published through HarperCollins, along with a companion podcast of the same name.
2022 saw Iain’s debut stand-up special Failing Upwards released on Amazon Prime. Recorded at the iconic Alexandra Palace Theatre in London explores topics including Iain’s inability to function in the most basic of public settings, the pressures of being in the public eye and that one time a man stole his shoes.
About Getaway Comedy
It’s all about the laughs at Getaway Comedy. Expect a delicious mix of playful, unapologetic, dark, punchy and (most importantly) very funny stand-up. Our main aim is to make sure our audiences have a top night out. Line-ups are booked purely on merit (ie. how funny each act is), with an emphasis on making sure there’s a variety of comedic styles for you to enjoy throughout the show. A spoonful of observational, a sprinkling of one-liners, a pinch of musical, a dollop of the daft… you get the picture. With all the crap going on in the world, Getaway Comedy is an opportunity to escape to laughter for a couple of hours.
Getaway Comedy have been putting on shows for over a decade (previously under the banner of The Stand-Up Club), and have built up a reputation as one of the best run and funniest comedy clubs in the UK. We also founded and run the £10,001 British Comedian of the Year competition, with the biggest cash prize in British comedy.
