IAN BAGG plays LA area Comedy Clubs.

 Ian made his move to New York in 1996, then came west to Los Angeles in 2000, but before leaving New York he did the Aspen Comedy Festival, the Montreal Comedy Festival as well as stand up spots on HO Showcase Comics, Friday Nights and his first small film role in Tim Robbins film The Cradle Will Rock. He was also a regular member in the sketch group The Milk Duds but Los Angeles came a calling and he packed up and moved to Beverly Hills.

In 2007 Ian made a second appearance at the Aspen Comedy Festal and filmed an HBO special called A Comics Climb with Ian Bagg. In love with the art of stand up he was thrilled when The History Channel came knocking and asked him to be a part of the special History of the Joke. Doing shows in China, Europe, Middle East, Australia and all over North America keeps his frequent flier points high and his knowledge of the world sharp. Al Gore described his comedy as controlled chaos, President Regan on his death described it as an interactive delight and Nancy agreed. Do not miss your chance of seeing Ian Bagg live.

Ian was born in a little town of Terrace, BC in Canada (approximately 750 miles north of Vancouver).

Comments from Vancouver reporter Guy MacPherson at Straight.com, Vancouver's online source:

There’s a throw-away line a lot of comics use after a particularly filthy or contentious part of their act: “I’m not for everyone.” Ian Bagg doesn’t ever make this utterance, but it would be fitting if he did. Because he’s not. He’s certainly not for those suffering from a bad case of white guilt—those who tend to be the ones who groan loudest at the barbs Bagg directs at almost every societal group imaginable.  But one never gets the impression the six-foot-four Terrace native, who has spent the last 15 years in Los Angeles, means anything sinister with his jokes.......

At any sign of shock from the crowd, Bagg acts taken aback. He wonders out loud if the audience is filled with Christians and he wasn’t told.......

.......He’ll crack a joke about a Greyhound beheading or a notorious pig farm, absorb the audible wince and respond with, “How far back in history do I have to go before I can mock it?” He continues on in the voice of an audience member: “Please do not mock anything that has happened. Please only mock the future.”......

........Because he’s a master at crowd work, no two Bagg shows are completely alike. He gets to know everyone in the crowd and constantly refers back to them throughout, addressing them by a nickname he’s assigned each one......

........Beyond the obvious questions of “Where are you from?” and “What do you do?” Bagg will poll various people: “What’s your favourite part of a blow job, Asian Guy?” “What’s the worst weather pattern you’ve ever been in, Beardy?” “Where’s the best place to have anal sex, Skirt?”........

..........Though much of his act is off the cuff, like any good comic, he’s got material to fall back on, depending on the situation. When the topic of religion came up, he told us he was raised Catholic, “but we don’t have to go to church since grandma died. She took one for the team and we got our Sundays back.”..........
