Ian was born in the little town of Terrace, BC in Canada (approximately 750 miles north of Vancouver). His parents Robyn and Gary, a Canadian and an Australian, gave Ian two passports but sadly neither of them were American. Ian had to embark on becoming an immigrant to America. In 1996 he moved to New York City, and became a regular at Comic Strip Live and the Comedy Cellar. This led immediately to 3 appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

In 2000 Ian made his move to Los Angeles, but before leaving New York he did the Aspen Comedy Festival, the Montreal Comedy Festival as well as stand up spots on HBO Showcase Comics, Friday Nights and his first small film role in Tim Robbins film The Cradle Will Rock. He was also a regular member of the sketch group The Milk Duds but Los Angeles came a-calling and he packed up and moved to Beverly Hills.

Ian ended up in a slew of independent movies such as The Purpose, Save the Mavericks and Ffing Frank. He booked bit parts in sitcoms such as The Damon Show as well as doing correspondent work for Myspace.com. Ian hosted The Hollywood Burn on Ripe TV and on his live talk show caled The Ian Bagg Show that was held at the famous Friars Club in Beverly Hills.

Ian tours constantly throughout the world, and has made repeat appearances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn and Craig Ferguson. His Comedy Central Presents Ian Bagg was so well-received that Ian ended up dating Britney Spears for three romantic nights.

In 2007 Ian made a second appearance at the Aspen Comedy Festal and filmed an HBO special called A Comics Climb with Ian Bagg. A man in love with the art of stand-up, Ian was thrilled when The History Channel came knocking and asked him to be a part of the special History of the Joke. Doing shows in China, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and all over North America keeps his frequent flier points high and his knowledge of the world sharp.

Al Gore described his comedy as 'controlled chaos', President Regan on his death described it as 'an interactive delight', and Nancy agreed. Do not miss your chance to see Ian Bagg live in Lexington!
