Simon Amstell: I Love It Here

About this event
After 5 weeks of sold-out shows in London, I Love It Here tours to just 7 major cities. Simon Amstell returns with a brand-new stand-up show – funnier, truer, and more healing than anything ever before or after. I Love It Here is the latest creation from the internationally acclaimed comedian and filmmaker behind the Netflix stand-up special Set Free and the feature films Benjamin and Carnage. At a friend’s beach house just outside Los Angeles, Simon finally finds peace: he is in love, free, released from the need to perform. But when an invitation arrives from the man who first ignited his teenage desire, that fragile calm is thrown into chaos. What follows is a desperate, hilarious attempt at surrender, during a night of overwhelming stimulation – the raw material for this extraordinary new show.
