Ignacio Lopez

Friday, April 10th 2026 at 6:00 PM at Westergas, Pazzanistraat 1

Ignacio Lopez is a Spanish & Welsh comedian based in Cardiff. His family is made up of Spanish, Welsh, Irish, Moroccan, and Germans. Family get-togethers are like a meeting of the U.N.

Branded Spain’s Best Export by the Spanish Embassy and Office of Culture in the UK, Ignacio has appeared on TV shows including Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, Comedy Central Live, and more.

As well as hosting on TV, headlining top comedy clubs all over the U.K and Europe, and taking the piss out of British people directly to their faces,  Ignacio writes sketches, sitcoms, and used to tweet a lot. Every few months something he tweeted would go viral and he’d gain a few thousand followers before they realise he doesn’t just tweet witty observations about public transport and songs about hating the U.K. – then they unfollow until the next tweet goes viral. The fickle bastards.

Markus Birdman

Friday, April 17th 2026 at 6:00 PM at Westergas, Pazzanistraat 1

Last year, after 20 years of stand up, I did Britain’s Got Talent. People asked me, “why now?”. Up ‘til that point I’d been very happy avoiding TV & fame – and in that sense, I’d been hugely successful! However, the year before, I’d also had a stroke and lost half my eyesight. I was now keen to talk about my experience, comedically, to as wide an audience as possible. I did quite well, got to the semi-finals & had my 15 minutes fame.

Careful what you wish for! Who knew that talking about my experience would be so offensive? How dare I make jokes about my own strokes & blindness! “You nasty, awful man”. This is a candid and hilarious new stand-up hour, talking about who I am, in an era where people are really keen to hear about who you are, so long as who you are, is something they want to hear about. Otherwise “you deserve your stroke*.”

Never mind the haters, I come back at you with love. Well, a couple of you can still kiss my half-blind backside**

*an actual online comment
**I never had a single complaint from anyone who had actually had a stroke.
