SUMMARY:Ivo Graham: Orange Crush
DESCRIPTION:Tickets £19.69*\n\n Graham in glorious technicolour\nThe Guardian \n\n \nWhat is the best orange thing in the world? Aperol spritz? Sunsets? Claudia Winkleman? You probably never stopped to think about what your favourite orange thing was\, but you’re damn sure thinking about it now. Maybe it’s marmalade\, or maybe it’s Garfield\, or maybe it’s the album Channel Orange by Frank Ocean. There’s just so many to consider. And no one on earth has considered more of them than Ivo Graham. \nIvo Graham has always been a fan of orange things. Baked beans. Sriracha mayo. The Tiger Who Came To Tea. But in 2025\, a series of emotional days in his favourite colour prompted Ivo to commit harder than ever to the bit: colour-coordinating his life for his daughter\, for his mother\, for his football team\, and\, he desperately hopes\, for your entertainment. Come and help this orange lunatic make his orange list\, in a show about hats\, haters\, hometown heroes\, and whether Hare Krishnas are better than Hobnobs. \n\n \n\n0 Stars \n Few stand-ups can waffle so winningly\nThe Telegraph \n\nDuration\n1hr 50mins\nInterval\nYes\nVenue\nOxford Playhouse
