Ian has over twenty years experience as a professional actor and entertainer. He has performed extensively as a stand-up comedian and has appeared in TV comedy and drama productions, short films, feature films, corporate videos and numerous radio and TV commercials.

As a member of the ground-breaking comedy group Funny Business he co-wrote and performed in two series of the TV sketch comedy “Funny Business” (1988 & 1991). In 1990 Funny Business were the first NZ comedians to be invited to perform in the “Just For Laughs” International Comedy Festival in Montreal, Canada.

Ian has been a core member of The Improvisors since 1993, performing in literally hundreds of shows with the company. In his time with The Improvisors he has played a huge range of characters - everything from Gandalf to Professor McGonagall, from a Moldavian wine expert to a talking oil drum!

Ian was a busy man in 2006 - performing cameos in most movies shot in New Zealand, including "Bridge to Terabithia" and "Black Sheep". 2007 was no different and Ian was seen in "The Waterhorse", released in 2008. We may well see Ian on the big screen again when the Kung-fu Western Comedy "Laundry Warrior" comes out in cinemas.
