A forest canopy opening onto a huge vista would be enchanting for some but my ancestors wandered in the desert for forty years\, I think we’ve been outdoors enough. Others get their fix from the spiritual but I’ve been harbouring a grudge against God since my mother stopped me going to Arsenal after my Barmitzvah. Forty nine years ago. ’God will be watching’ she said. Well\, at least he got to see the game. The point is\, life could be so much better so I’m on the lookout. Come and join me on the hunt.”\n\nIan Stone is a “A masterful exponent of self-mocking Jewish humour” according to The Times\, he’s been ranked “one of the top ten comedians in the UK” by the The Independent and The Guardian said that he’s “Seriously funny”.
