artist profile :: Ian Coppinger

Ian Coppinger is the finest improvisational talent Ireland has produced. A founding member of The Comedy Improv (1992) where he still performs every Monday night at the International Bar in Dublin, Ian has since accepted invitations to improvise with the popular Second City from Chicago, Whose Line Is It Anyway, The Comedy Store Players and Theatresports. Hot Press described him as ‘pound for pound the funniest human being to have existed anywhere ever’. He is way funnier than all these English improvisers and standing 5 feet tall he looks quite funny beside Stephen Frost.
