IAN COGNTIO

Cogs remains a true original; If you haven’t seen him, you won’t have a clue who we’re talking about, and if you have then you certainly won’t have forgotten the name. Tales of power drills, genital exposure and traumatised promoters follow in his wake as does the hysterical laughter of those who have been lucky enough to see one of this country’s greatest comedians.

“Ian Cognito delivered a performance with all the presence, clarity and direction of a true virtuoso player. This electrifying, terrifying and ultimately vulnerable performer warmed a cold Glasgow audience to boiling point. Stand up should always be like this” – The List

“Cognito’s indignant polemic is a bracing antidote to more amiable routines. When a comedian can transform rage into humour without diluting their passion, the result is always riveting. Share his inspired madness” – The Guardian

“Cognito puts them all in the shade. If you want to know what’s wrong with New Britain, Ian Cognito’s going to tell you. And if you don’t, you’d be advised to keep your mouth shut. Just stunning” – The Guardian

If messed up comedians are the most interesting, Ian Cognito is up there with the greats. He rants but not without thought. How is the comeback going? Very nastily, thanks” – The Evening Standard

“After half an hour in the company of the constantly self-excoriating Cognito, all other comedians begin to seem like people in public relations.” – The Evening Standard

Cognito is still hard to ignore, a raging bull goaded by a flaming sense of injustice.” – The Independent

“There is no doubting Ian Cognito’s blazing talent as a stand up, but his capacity for self destruction has ensured he’s never gained the recognition or status he’d otherwise have so effortlessly claimed. You know Cognito will never prostitute what he does just to play the game, he is a comedian through and through.” – Time Out
