Cardiff-based Spanish/Welsh comedian Ignacio Lopez is a man with a rapidly growing fanbase. Not only have his videos been watched by well in excess of 20 million people, he’s even had to tell a Live At The Apollo audience to quit laughing so that he could finish his act before his time ran out.

“Telling more than 3,000 people to shut up was a definite career high,” says Ignacio, who, having moved to the UK to attend film school, then found himself caring more about the laughs his short films elicited than the grades they received. 

He’s visiting the Midlands this month and next with Senor Self-Destruct, a show which has been described as ‘a riotously funny exploration of vices, intrusive thoughts and self-improvement’.
