His new comedy special, “Popcorn!” is available on YouTube now! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsF_7e6rukY&t=1s

Ivan shares his hilarious and very personal experiences about being married and a first-time father while trying to balance touring around the world.  His material is relatable and filled with stories we can all identify with and can laugh at ourselves about -- especially his passion for ‘popcorn’ and how to make it ‘last in your mouth to postpone it’s delicious good feeling for later on – he swears popcorn gives you a ‘rush of serotonin and dopamine that is better than any drugs’ hence, the ultimate inspiration for title of his upcoming special. 

We chat about being on a Jet, “fitting in”, imposter syndrome, his latest comedy special, discomfort, clowning, moving above quitting and always wanting to get better.

The video footage of this entire chat is now out as well (one day after release)!
