Following his Live at the Apollo debut on Friday night, Spanish/Welsh comedian Ignacio Lopez announces his biggest UK tour yet. With 25 dates this October and November, from Aberdeen to Brighton, Newcastle to Llanelli and lots in between – book now to see the brand new show from this rapidly rising stand-up star.
Update: Extra dates have been added in Newport, London and Bridgewater. Tickets for extra dates go on sale 10am 23rd February. Details here.
In 2009, from his derelict flat in South Wales, Ignacio scored tickets to see his favourite band, Nine Inch Nails, in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, he didn’t have money, transport or a place to stay. Sharing his biggest failures with a hilarious, globe-trotting story about music, comedy and cock-ups, Ignacio expertly skewers Britain and Spain with an Armada of sarcasm, silliness, and songs. Expect observational stand-up, wicked humour, and sharp lines from the exotic outsider comedian with over 100 million video views online.
Spain’s best export, Ignacio Lopez has been wowing audiences internationally with his individual style and high gag-rate since 2010. A wild mixture of Welsh & Spanish, Ignacio stormed on to the UK comedy scene as a finalist in several new act competitions in his first year of performing. Since then he has resonated with British audiences at live shows and reaching viral status with comedy songs about ‘why spain hates the UK’, and hilarious threads about public transport.
Ignacio first gained TV recognition in 2011 when he appeared on ITV’s Show Me The Funny. He then produced and hosted primetime comedy series Comedy Sheep Stand-Up for Made Television and became a regular on BBC One Wales’ Stand Up Sesh, racking up over 20 million hits for his sketches and stand-up videos. Most recently he appeared on BBC Two’s Live At The Apollo in February 2023. His radio credits include BBC 5 Live, BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and his own special Spain’s Best Export for BBC Radio Wales.
Ignacio regularly headlines leading comedy clubs all over the UK. As well as performing on cruise ships and military gigs, Ignacio has supported Jason Manford, John Bishop and Tom Stade on tour. His seven solo shows have had sold out runs at festivals including the Edinburgh Fringe, Brighton Fringe, Leicester Comedy Festival and Neath Comedy Festival. His last tour show EspañYOLO was released as a comedy album.
