As his new show Buffering premieres tomorrow, we caught up with the comedian about creating sitcoms, his new stand-up tour and how long he’ll continue narrating LoveIsland
Picking up the phone to Iain Stirling, it’s surreal to hear the voice that’s narrated near every night of my life for the last month in real time. Especially, since I have the same name as a now-former and fleeting Love Island contestant. Iain notes it immediately, joking ‘I think I’ve said Georgia more to you in the last two seconds than I have on the show.’, which premieres tomorrow night on ITV2.
Essentially, it allows the comedian to be one-step removed from the contestants, so his jokes can be as free and authentic as possible. But of course, he doesrecognise Islanders in real life, so has that ever backfired in the form of an angry interaction? ‘We were raised to believe we’ve got to get really good and successful at something really quick, that’s what will make us happy and what we’re entitled to,’ he continued. ‘We were never told about this idea of failure. So I thought it would be funny in a sitcom, if you have a load of people in different positions, whether it be relationship or work or whatever, where it’s not worked out and they’re really scared.
