Multi-award winning comedian Ian Smith (co-host of the Northern News podcast) returns to Mach with his second Edinburgh Comedy Award nominated show – Foot Spa Half Empty. A hilarious 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 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown – and heard on The News Quiz, The Unbelievable Truth, Just A Minute and his own Radio 4 series, Ian Smith is Stressed.

“He is a master at turning minor panic into full-bodied punchlines, building one of the tightest, most well-oiled hours at the Fringe” ★★★★★ The Telegraph

“Effortlessly brilliant” ★★★★ Scotsman

“There are few fringe shows as purely funny as this” ★★★★ Guardian

“An outstanding and stressed-out hour of stand-up” ★★★★ Fest

“Ian Smith turns incredulity into an art form, confirming his status as the undisputed sultan of nerve-shredding stress” Rolling Stone
