About this show
Smash-hit WE ARE IAN is back. 10 years since it premiered at Pleasance. Manchester, 1989. The year everything changed from black and white into technicolour. A frenzy of drugs, beats and bucket hats. Illegal raves. Acid parties. Jumping up and down in a field and throwing two fingers to Thatcher... Do you remember? We don't. We weren't even born. But Ian was. And Ian does remember. We've got fk all now, so we’re going back to 1989. We're gonna neck a brown biscuit. We're gonna bounce around like idiots. And Ian's going to show us how.
