Mike Bubbins: Ideas Man

Ideas Man, noun : ‘A person who is particularly good at thinking of new or original ideas.’ That’s what Mike Bubbins is. Not an admin man. Not an organised man. Not an especially dedicated man. This comedy tour, for instance, is a case in point. Mike has got loads of really funny stories. He’s wonderful at telling them. So he had the idea of sharing those stories with people, to give them some big laughs and a great night out. He’s left every single other thing that needs to be done in order to make that happen, to other people. Except the name. IDEASMAN was his idea.

The Telegraph – ‘ delightfully silly….the jokes come thick and fast…delivered with such confidence by Bubbins… **** ‘

Irish Times –  ‘ a giggle fest… wistfully hilarious ‘

The Times – ‘ … Bubbins is terrific ‘

Radio Times – ‘ …a brilliant performance from Bubbins ‘

Mike Bubbins is a Welsh comedian, actor, writer and broadcaster. He is the creator, co-writer and star of the hit BBC sitcom Mammoth.  When it was first transmitted the debut series of Mammoth was the biggest debut sitcom on BBC2 in five years.  Series two will screen in December 2025.

Mike is one of the hosts of The Socially Distant Sports Bar.  Launched in the lockdown of 2020 when there was no live sport, the podcast became a huge hit and five years and almost 300 episodes, one of the Uk’s largest Patreon subscriber bases, two sold out tours and arena shows later, is still going strong.

Lastly, and while he may be blowing his own trumpet, Mike’s pretty sure he’s the only comedy performer, writer & actor in the world who as well as being an ex-professional rugby player, coach and PE teacher has also been a finalist in the European Elvis Tribute Act Championship. Honestly.
