  • Stand-up show Ignacio Lopez: Señor Self-Destruct will tour between January and May 2025
  • "Ignacio Lopez is on a mission to destroy himself, and build a better version; Leaner. Smarter. Funnier."
  • He says: "I set out to write a show about self improvement because I've truly destroyed my body and mind performing stand-up comedy"

Stand-up comic Ignacio Lopez is to embark on his biggest tour yet, in 2025.

His promoters say: "Having won over legions of new fans with his stellar performances on Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central Live, QI and more, next year will see acclaimed Spanish/Welsh comedian Ignacio Lopez embark on his biggest ever tour, taking his new stand-up show Señor Self-Destruct to 40 venues around the UK between January and May 2025.

"Spain's Best ExportTM Ignacio Lopez is on a mission to destroy himself, and build a better version; Leaner. Smarter. Funnier. Join the indisputable rising star of comedy, for a riotously funny exploration of vices, intrusive thoughts, and self improvement. Expect an armada of playful, wicked humour from the exotic outsider comedian, as he tries to identify his faults and ways to improve. Is it worth going to the gym? Can you be addicted to technology? Do you know what happens if you give spiders drugs? Ignacio uses his razor-sharp wit, and effortless charm to tackle these questions and a bunch of other irrelevant horsesh*t."

Lopez explains: "I set out to write a show about self improvement because I've truly destroyed my body and mind performing stand-up comedy. It's time I sorted myself out, but not before I spend another 5 months traveling up and down the UK on public transport, eating terrible food and not getting any sleep. The world is on fire and I can't fix that but I will tell you my best jokes about British tourists, Spanish horror stories and the origins of music festivals. Also I try to do a cockney accent at one point, which is worth the price of admission alone."
