About Me

Hello. My name is Ian Smith.

I'm from Goole, in East Yorkshire, but i'm based in New Cross, London, where i study Media and Communications at Goldsmiths University.

I have been described as "fantastically funny" by The Times and a "star of the future" by Timeout.

Here's a clip of my winning performance in the London heat of the 'Chortle Student Comedy Awards' 2008:

Other comedians, promoters, people.

Below is a short film made by myself and Christopher Willerton for our A2 media coursework, called 'Marcus'. The film also won a 'Golden Girder Award' for best '16-19 Fiction' at 'Scunthorpe Young Persons Film Festival'. Please watch away and comment the Youtube page!

It is in no way comical, besides the amateur acting, shoddy camerawork, massive errors and the fact that we won a sprayed gold miniture girder (mounted on wood) for it.

'Marcus' follows the stroy of a depressed young man who has reocurring dreams about a girl. He becomes obsessed with the girl, and when he thinks he sees her in real life he confesses his love to her, and his rejection leads to disastrous consequences. Starring Christopher Willerton and Francesca Newton!
