The Pleb's Pow Wow

The Plebs need to have a pow wow. The world is a mess, our leaders aren't stepping up and it's time for us to do the necessary. That's where you come in. At each show, Ian Stone will choose some major issues. And together, we'll sort them. It could be the potholes that life throws up, what punishment is suitable for irritating behaviour in a public place or how to be sure that tropical fruit is fresh. One day, we might do the Middle East. Imagine that being sorted! **** The Times

This year we have two entry methods: Free & Unticketed or Pay What You Can
Free & Unticketed: Entry to a show is first-come, first served at the venue - just turn up and then donate to the show in the collection at the end.
Pay What You Can: For these shows you can book a ticket to guarantee entry and choose your price from the Fringe Box Office, up to 30 mins before a show. After that all remaining space is free at the venue on a first-come, first-served bases. Donations for walk-ins at the end of the show.

It is day one. His first show at Fringe 2026. Some people I would never go and see this early, however Ian Stone is someone I will. He is always a safe pair of hands and guaranteed to provide an hour of top notch comedy. And I was not alone. The large venue was packed out with queues round the block.

Stone greets one and all, settles them down and warms up the crowd with the definition of plebs and examples of past PMs. He has 50 prepared questions about how we, the plebs, can maybe find a solution that our esteemed politicians cannot. Involving the audience with calling out numbers, he runs through a selection of his questions, discusses the issued raised and notes down possible solutions; each and every one providing gales of laughter from the get-go.

The hour in his hand passes way too quickly. He is a consummate pro, a hugely erudite talker and above all an extremely funny man. Ian has been a regular Fringe visitor for more than 20 years now and I have seen him countless times. Go see him. You should not miss out.

As part of the Laughing Horse Free Festival, it is free to get in, but the bucket collection at the end is there for donations. Considering the prices of other (often less talented) performers, don’t be mean with your contributions. Click Here For Review
