For four nights comedian and filmmaker Simon Amstell returns with a brand-new stand-up show ‘I Love It Here’ 

This new stand-up experience from “the undisputed king of the stand-up confessional” (Evening Standard) will take place at Arches London Bridge, from Wednesday 22nd – Saturday 25th October 2025.

Ticket pre-sale begins on Wednesday 24th September 2025 (10am), with general sale from Thursday 25th September 2025 (10am). Tickets at iloveithereshow.com and simonamstell.com.

At a friend’s beach house just outside Los Angeles, Simon finally finds peace: he is in love, 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.

‘I Love It Here’ marks an exciting departure from Amstell’s previous depression-based work, such as the acclaimed BBC stand-up special ‘Numb’, inspired by the award-winning comedian’s inability to feel anything.

POSTER UNVEILING:

Today’s announcement has seen Amstell unveil a series of captivating, playfully provocative poster designs for this stand-up event, created in collaboration with celebrated film poster designer and artist Sam Ashby.

Ashby’s striking designs see Amstell as never before, free and joyful, soaking up his idyllic, countryside surrounds.

Ashby’s previous work includes film poster design for ‘All Of Us Strangers’, ‘Frances Ha’, ‘Control’ and ‘The Outrun’.

Of the posters he has created for Amstell’s new show, Ashby said: “Simon and I were introduced by a mutual friend some time ago and shared our creative work with each other – me: my films and poster design, Simon: his beautiful photography, which remains a personal, unseen project. I don’t really consider myself a photographer despite shooting my own films, so I see these images as collaborative works which draw on Simon’s own photography, even using his camera. The aim was to reveal a side of Simon which people may not have encountered before – something freer, perhaps more open. That sense of freedom feels central to the spirit of this new show. And for the design,  I painted the title by hand to give it an organic, personal touch – something natural, imperfect, alive.”
