About this show
The Plebs need to have a pow wow. The world is a mess, our leaders aren't stepping up and it's time for us to do the necessary. That's where you come in. At each show, Ian Stone will choose some major issues. And together, we'll sort them. It could be the potholes that life throws up, what punishment is suitable for irritating behaviour in a public place, or how to be sure that tropical fruit is fresh. One day, we might do the Middle East. Imagine that being sorted! (Times).

There are twists and turns, but Stone doesn’t slow down for any of them. It’s a delightful, apparently ungoverned ramble… maybe ‘rampage’ would be a more accurate term… 4 Stars
The hour in his hand passes way too quickly. He is a consummate pro, a hugely erudite talker and above all an extremely funny man. 5 Stars
