Ian Smith

Hello and welcome to Ian Smith is Stressed, a comedy show all about my stress and my misguided attempts at relaxation.

Sit back and relax.

Unless you're on a stool, in which case, please do not sit back.

If you've already sat back, I apologise.

Just wait for the ambulance to arrive, and then when you get in the ambulance, sit back and relax.

LAUGHTER

Try not to focus on the fact that you're losing blood and focus on how warm the blood is.

Now, this is series two.

So obviously I didn't find the secret to relaxation first time round, but I think this series, I'm going to crack it.

I've left no stone unturned.

In fact, I've unturned all the stones twice, which actually means I've sort of returned the stones to their original positions.

But I've left no stone unreturned.

I'm always stressed.

I even found writing this show very stressful.

I wrote lots of documents on my computer.

Ian Smith is stressed, new ideas.

Ian Smith is stressed, plans for 2026.

But I'd been using the acronym for Ian Smith is stressed.

So those documents actually said ISIS, plans for 2026.

ISIS, new ideas.
