Biography
Comedian, Author, Columnist, Corporate Speaker, Blogger, Podcaster and Chutney Maker
Comedian Ian Moore occupies a unique position in British comedy.
TV/Radio regular, best-selling author and headliner at London’s world famous Comedy Store, Ian lives in rural France and commutes back to the UK for work.
His best-selling novel, ‘Death & Croissants’ was released in hardback in July 2021, and the follow-up, ‘Death & Fromage’ is released in July 2022. He has appeared on BBC 2’s Richard Osman’s House of Games, is a regular guest on BT Sport’s The Football’s On and BBC 5Live’s Fighting Talk and Talksport’s The Warm Up. Ian also won many plaudits for his performance in the last series of BBC Radio 4’s long- running The Now Show.
What with ‘events’, Ian has become an unwitting, but witty, expertin UK and European visa, travel, trade agreements, UK- EU bickering and, like the rest of social media a nowhere-near fully qualified epidomologist. His sharp, entertaining punditry can be seen regularly on Dave’s satirical TV show Unspun, Channel 5’s topical Comedy Big Mouths, TRT World’s weekly dissection of the news, Nexus.
As a much sought after comedian, compère and corporate awards host Ian has performed at corporate events ranging from twelve Harley Davidson executives in a hotel suite to hosting a live Q&A in front of 3,500 people at a packed-out Hammersmith Apollo. Following a sell-out run alongside Catherine Tate, Ian was selected to appear at the pinnacle of all comedy festivals – Montreal’s Just for Laughs. Alongside the likes of Jimmy Carr and Lee Mack, Ian performed in the sellout Britcom showcase and the Worldcom show at the festival’s finale.
Ian is also a columnist and podcaster and the author of best-selling memoirs, ‘A la Mod: My So-Called Tranquil Family Life in Rural France, and the follow up, ‘C’est Modnifique!: Adventures of an English Grump in Rural France’.
Ian Moore also makes mean chutneys and jams.
