Every few months something he tweets will go viral and he’ll 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.

Ignacio has performed for the Wales football squad, opened for James Dean Bradfield of Manic Street Preachers, and has appeared on Live At the Apollo.

During the pandemic Ignacio has focused on putting more comedy content online, streaming live comedy events, running a weekly quiz, teaching people how to make Sangría, sitting on his sofa for 18 hours a day and occasionally crying in the bath.

At last count Ignacio’s videos have received over 20 Million views in total across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
