Conway Hall presents Ian D Montfort Is: Unbelievable Tom Binns performs his award-winning characters Ian D. Montfort the Spirit Medium and Ivan Brackenbury the naff hospital DJ in an amazing double bill! Ian D Montfort BSc (pseudo) PhD (psudo) will not only have jaw-dropping messages from beyond the grave but will use pseudoscientific methods to prove ESP homeopathy and past life regression aren’t rubbish. Ian D Montfort has had a very busy year over Christmas he enrolled and graduated with a PhD (psudo) at the La LaSalle University Louisiana. LaSalle is one of Americas leading diploma mills. Dr. Ian D Montfort is now one of Britain’s Leading spokespeople on psudoscience. In Unbelievable there will be a demonstration of Ian’s mediumship ability but that will be part of a wider Psudo-Science Lecture. Psudo-Science picks up where the old traditional science has failed. Old Traditional Science can not find any proof for things like Past Life Regression Astral projection fairies ESP Homeopathy and Spirit Mediumship. Ian will demonstrate that with Psudoscience you don’t need proof you just need a desperate need to believe. Ian will be supported by hospital radio DJ Ivan Brackenbury . Ivan Brackenbury is the naff hospital radio DJ that plays inappropriate requests for his patients. He is widely regarded as one of the funniest headliners on the UK circuit. “His poorly judged dedications like everything else in this chock-full show come thick fast and funny. And that pregnant pause as we wait to hear which song Ivan selects for which ailment gets more tantalising every time.” – The Guardian “If laughter is the best medicine Ivan Brackenbury should be a real hospital radio DJ. Ivan’s Hospital broadcast Disease Hour is the most deliciously enjoyable I’ve spent on the Fringe. His poorly judged dedications like everything else in this chock-full show come thick fast and funny. And that pregnant pause as we wait to hear which song Ivan selects for which ailment gets more tantalising every time.” THE GUARDIAN ★★★★ “I’ll let you go to the show and find out which patients and what ailments elicit the playing of Solid as a Rock Secret Smile and the rather excellent Mary McGregor’s hit Torn Between Two Lovers and I am sure Joan Arkwright’s gynecological problem is all the better for Ivan’s thoughtful record choice. I laughed so much I nearly suffered the same thing. Special in every sense of the word. Wonderful pitch-perfectly performed silliness from which you emerge still giggling.” THE SCOTMAN ★★★★ “For simple laugh-’til you ache humour Ivan Brackenbury is the hit of the Fringe” THE EVENING STANDARD ★★★★ “_e whole room was in hysterics from the word go endorphin-filled laughter indeed proving the best medicine. Brackenbury is absolutely utterly hilarious – I can’t recommend this enough. Go see it.” THE AGE ★★★★ “laughs per minute the funniest show at the Fringe” TIME OUT ★★★★ “Ivan’s prime gag is to play the least suitable records possible for the listeners to his Disease Hour. Binns just lets him get on with being brilliantly beautifully bad. You’ll spend an hour glorying in the stupid ways we find to keep ourselves amused and then you’ll leave still chuckling at them.” THE TIMES ★★★★ Tickets £10 advance (plus booking fee) £13 door.
