Ignacio Lopez’s “Señor Self Destruct” is a riotous journey into the mind of Spain’s Best Export™. Known for his appearances on Live at the Apollo, Have I Got News For You, QI, and Comedy Central, Ignacio brings his signature blend of wicked humour and silly charm to this work-in-progress show.

“Señor Self Destruct” sees Ignacio on a mission to dismantle himself and emerge leaner, smarter, and funnier. The result is a hilarious exploration of modern life, questioning everything from the value of going to the gym to the dangers of technology addiction. Ignacio’s playful delivery keeps the audience engaged as he dives into bizarre yet oddly relatable topics, like what happens if you give spiders drugs. His humour deftly navigates dark thoughts, hyper-fixations, and the quirks of neurodiversity, offering a glimpse into his unique perspective.

The show’s rough edges only add to its charm, making the experience feel like a peek behind the curtain of a comedic genius at work. From childhood horror movie trauma to the absurdity of everyday life, Ignacio crafts a set that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining. If you enjoy sharp wit mixed with a dose of the ridiculous, “Señor Self Destruct” is a must-see.
