About Andrés López
Andrés López was born in Bogotá in 1971. López started performing in 1990, while he was a student of systems engineering and anthropology at the Universidad de los Andes in Bogotá. The university gave him a classroom to teach stand-up in, which in a country with no stand-up tradition meant working out the local version of the job and then handing it on.
He wrote and performed comedy sketches for the morning show El Mañanero (“The Morning Show”) on the radio station La Mega, and those sketches grew into the television programme Pido La Parola (“I Ask for the Floor”) on RCN. In 1998 he took the Shakespearean women, Juliet, Desdemona, Lady Macbeth and Ophelia, in the Colombian staging of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare.
La Pelota de Letras (“The Ball of Letters”), first performed at the Hard Rock Cafe in Bogotá in 2004 and released on DVD the year after by Universal Music Colombia, is the show he is measured by. It reads Colombian family life from the 1960s onwards as a set of generational habits, and it sold well enough to earn him the Diamond and Double Diamond DVD awards. Me Pido La Ventana (“I Have the Window!”) followed, and he became the first Colombian to play the South Beach Comedy Festival. He released Me Pido La Ventana on DVD in 2007.
