Comedian Ivo Graham signed up to take part in Swindon's Longevity Games, it was announced on 27 April 2026. The event was set for Sunday 10 May 2026 at the Swindon Harriers athletics track.
Graham, known for appearances on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, QI and Taskmaster, has a long-standing link with the town through his support for Swindon Town FC, which he often mentions in his stand-up, Swindon24 reported.
What were the Longevity Games?
The games were designed to encourage Swindon residents of all ages and abilities to get active. The focus was on taking part rather than elite performance, and organisers said they hoped the event would help make Swindon the fittest town in the country.
Organiser Tim Howe said: "Getting someone like Ivo involved is brilliant for what we're building here in Swindon."
He added: "This isn't about elite athletes or intimidating competition".
A further Longevity Games was planned for September 2026.
