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]
