Longer-term resolutions of rest and relaxation can wait; in the meantime he’s trying to host the greatest club night of all time, run a Sub-3 marathon while pushing a wheelchair, and put his heart on the line in a show unlike anything he’s ever done before. Can these dreams become a reality, or will they just become more yardsticks for failure?</p>\n<p>We were joined by Ivo at the Kiln Theatre in May 2025 for a unique self-examination from one of the funniest writers of his generation. </p>\n<p>---</p>\n<p>If you'd like to become a Member and get access to all our full ad free conversations, plus all of our Members-only content, just visit intelligencesquared.com/membership to find out more.</p>\n<p>For £4.99 per month you'll also receive:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared episodes, wherever you get your podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>- 15% discount on livestreams and in-person tickets for all Intelligence Squared events </p>\n<p>... </p>\n<p>Or Subscribe on Apple for £4.99:</p>\n<p>- Full-length and ad-free Intelligence Squared podcasts</p>\n<p>- Bonus Intelligence Squared podcasts, curated feeds and members exclusive series</p>\n<p>…</p>\n<p>Already a subscriber?
