ian cognito, comedian
comedy club archive

Ian Cognito is one of the best comics on the national circuit, a veteran who clearly knows what he’s done as he spits his darkly humorous vitriol over an unsuspecting crowd. Outspoken, opinionated, and totally clued up, this mans take on the world will have you convinced and convulsed (with laughter).

“Cognito’s indignant polemic is a bracing antidote to more amiable routines. When a comedian can transform rage into humour without diluting passion, the result is always riveting. Share his inspired madness.” William Cook, The Guardian

“Cognito puts them all in the shade. If you want to know what’s wrong with New Britain, Ian Cognito’s going to tell you. And if you don’t, you’d better keep your mouth shut. Just stunning.” Phil Daoust, The Guardian

“Ian Cognito is up there with the greats. He rants – but not without thought.” Evening Standard

“There is no doubting Ian Cognito’s blazing talent as a stand-up.” Time Out
