Iain Stirling, the comedian and voice behind Love Island USA, is returning to the U.S. with a brand-new stand-up comedy show, Iain Stirling Live.
Stirling will perform at the Improv in Los Angeles on October 22, 2025, and then in New York City on October 29, 2025, at the Manhattan Gramercy Theatre.
The new dates follow a successful run across the UK and Ireland and two sold-out shows in New York City last year.
Amid the show dates announcement, Stirling talked to Deadline about what people can expect to see him live.
“Hopefully, people that have enjoyed me on Love Island, and particularly enjoyed my voice, just sort of seeing what I’ve been doing for 15 years, which is stand-up,” he said. “It’s my chance to show America that this is what I do and I’m not just a guy in a dark room behind a microphone.”
Stirling is best known to U.S. audiences as the narrator behind Peacock’s smash hit reality dating series Love Island USA, which the comedian has been voicing since Season 4. Although Stirling recalls not roasting the Islanders during last year’s U.S. show dates, he might make mention of them in his new show.
“I sort of wanted to keep my stand-up seperate to all that, but I just feel like Love Island this year has been this big cultural thing — it would be a miss of me to not sort of talk about that, and I definitely want to,” he explained.
Being based in London, Stirling noted that he hasn’t fully grasped the phenomeon that Love Island USA has become and is “excited to be out in America” to “really know what the Love Island vibes are outside” of his world. Stirling teased that he is still working on his set but could possibly do his regular stand-up and leave some time at the end for a Q&A and have a Love Island chat.
Stirling has a full plate not only voicing Love Island USA, but also the original series in the U.K. with both series airing at the same time. Although he is working non-stop, Stirling says it’s something that he likes as he gets to “knock both out in like two months and then have August to finesse a show and put it together,” to be ready to tour in the fall.
“Although it’s a bit mad at the minute, and I find myself falling asleep in the most unusual places throughout the day, I am very grateful, and I’m glad it’s worked out like this,” he added.
Tickets for Iain Stirling Live will be available via pre-sale starting Thursday, June 26, at 10 a.m. local time. The general on sale will be Friday, June 27, at 10 a.m. local time.
