Ian Wolf

Profile:
Hi!

I'm Ian Wolf (Real name Ian Dunn). I'm 20 years old, autistic, and love comedy! I want to get into comedy as both a performer and a stand-up. I've once came runner-up in Channel 4's "Send-a-Sketch" competition on their 4Laughs website, and I've recently sent a pilot of a sitcom to their "Comedy Lab".

My favourite sitcoms include "Dad's Army", "Yes Minister", "Drop the Dead Donkey", "Black Books", and top of the list, "Green Wing" (Tamsin Greig is the funniest woman around, no question).

Other comedies I like include on TV include "The Day Today", "Futurama", "QI", "Have I Got News For You" and "Big Train".

On radio, I like "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue", "The Now Show", "Just a Minute", "It's Been a Bad Week" and "Serious About Comedy", having once read out the comedy recommendations on the show.

I've seen a few stand-up comedians, including Ross Noble, Jimmy Carr, Jeremy Hardy, Sue Perkins, Dara O'Briain and Ben Elton.

I also like webcomics. Personal favourites include "Newshounds", "Poisoned Minds", "Funny Farm", "Exterminatus Now" and "Something Happens".

Hi!

I'm Ian Wolf (Real name Ian Dunn). I'm 20 years old, autistic, and love comedy! I want to get into comedy as both a performer and a stand-up. I've once came runner-up in Channel 4's "Send-a-Sketch" competition on their 4Laughs website. I was also chairman of the University of Teesside Comedy Society. You can visit our Youtube page here. Some of these clips helped my university win the It's Not Funny competition, winning a comedy gig featuring Bill Bailey, Marcus Brigstocke, Andrew Maxwell and Simon Amstell.

I have also performed comedy successfully. I and several other people performed a tribute to "QI" for our university, which worked very well.

My favourite sitcoms include "Dad's Army", "Yes Minister", "Drop the Dead Donkey", "Black Books", and top of the list, "Green Wing" (Tamsin Greig is the funniest woman around, no question).

Other comedies I like include on TV include "The Day Today", "Futurama", "QI", "Have I Got News For You" and "The Colbert Report".

On radio, I like "I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue", "The Now Show", "Just a Minute", "It's Been a Bad Week", "Genius" and "Serious About Comedy". I have once read the comedy recommendations on the show.

I've seen a few stand-up comedians, including Ross Noble, Daniel Kitson, Jeremy Hardy, Sue Perkins, and Dara O'Briain.

I also like webcomics. Personal favourites include "Newshounds", "Poisoned Minds", "Funny Farm", "Exterminatus Now" and "Something Happens".

I have had some sketches for NewsRevue and Tilt broadcast. I have also attempted stand-up comedy, but that wasn't as successful.

My current project is working as a "Newshound" for QI, finding news stories that are quite interesting. See my work on the QI webstie.

I tried my hand at podcasting, but I believe that to be a mistake and don't plan to repeat it.
