Spain’s Best Export™ Ignacio Lopez is on a mission to destroy himself and build a better version; Leaner. Smarter. Funnier. Join the star of Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, The Now Show, & more, for a riotously funny exploration of vices, decadence, and self improvement.

Ignacio uses his razor-sharp wit, and effortless charm to tackle these questions, (and probably a bunch of other irrelevant horsesht), in a vague attempt at making an hour of hilarity seem like something more meaningful.
