Stand-up comedy show by Ivo Graham about his obsession with orange things, at Everyman Theatre.
Ivo Graham brings his new stand-up show Orange Crush to the Everyman Theatre on Wednesday 11 November. The whole thing is built around Graham's lifelong obsession with the colour orange, and the title isn't just a bit of wordplay — it's the actual premise. He lists the things that sparked it: baked beans, sriracha mayo, the children's book The Tiger Who Came To Tea, and Frank Ocean's Channel Orange. He says a few emotional days in his favourite colour pushed him to commit to the bit properly, colour-coordinating his life for his daughter, his mother, and his football team.
From there, the show follows him as he puts together an 'orange list' that touches on hats, haters, hometown heroes, and whether Hare Krishnas are better than Hobnobs. He describes it as a sharp and introspective look at the fleeting nature of happiness, blending personal anecdote with philosophical musing on what actually brings us delight. It's the kind of set that starts with a simple, almost silly obsession and works its way into something a bit more thoughtful.

On the practical side, the performance runs 90 minutes plus an interval, so it's a full evening's worth of material rather than a short spot. It's strictly for ages 14 and over, and there are warnings for swearing and adult content, so keep that in mind if you're bringing anyone younger. Tickets are £21.
