The act
Quick witted Irish comedy, shaped to the audience, is at the centre of Ian Dowling's work. He works as both a stand up and an MC, with appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Sunshine Coast Comedy Festival. In 2024, his Immigrant on the Run event paired endurance running with two sold out comedy shows that raised money for charity. For a wedding, you could discuss MC duties or a separate comedy set, with the material tailored to your guests. Watch Ian on this page to judge how his delivery might meet your room.

Good to know
What to expect
Stand-up first, MC second, and Ian Dowling is comfortable in either chair. The festival stages and the mining town pubs have both had him, which is a wider apprenticeship than most comics get. His touring year included a stunt worth knowing about: he ran 100km north from the Gold Coast, played a sold-out hour that evening, then ran the same distance home the following day for a second show. Before comedy he worked construction, mining, real estate and fitness, so a sales conference holds no mystery for him. Awards nights, warm-up sets, charity lunches. He shapes the material to the crowd in front of him and stays the right side of the line.
