[1] [2] [3]
Gordillo performed stand-up from 1996 to 2000 before he co-created & hosted two series of The RDA aka The Recommended Daily Allowance, a talk show for BBC Three. [4] [5] [6] [7] Gordillo returned to stand-up in 2006. [8] In 2016, his Work-in-Progress stand-up set won Best Show at the Leicester Comedy Festival. [9]
Gordillo's solo work includes the 2009 production of Fuckonomics which received mixed reviews. British comedy website Chortle said the show's subject placed Gordillo "on potentially hack, misogynistic ground" [10] whilst The Herald described it as "excruciatingly unfunny." [11] More favourable reviews described Fuckonomics as "intellectually ambitious." [12]
His show about his father, Divide & Conga, was received some positive reviews at the Edinburgh fringe [13] [14] [15] [16] and his show Cheap Shots at the Defenceless toured internationally and received mixed reviews. [17] [18] [19]
In 2017, he directed & co-devised Ugly Chief at Battersea Arts Centre with performance artist Victoria Melody and her father, TV antiques dealer Mike Melody. The show was a seriocomic examination of death and the tensions of a father-daughter relationship. The piece received positive reviews. [20] [21]
Gordillo is represented by the British talent agency Off The Kerb. [22]
