About me: Hi, I'm Andy, I love to have a laugh, I'm really into stand-up comedy and I like films too. I love the company of people who are up for a laugh and have a great sense of humour. I can't stand people who take life too seriously and have no sense of humour.
I've been performing stand-up for five years. In October 2005 I won the City Life North West Comedian of the Year Award (past winners include Peter Kay, Caroline Aherne, Dave Spikey and Jason Manford). I also won Budweiser Legend of Laughter 2006, I was a Semi-Finalist in the Amused Moose Laugh Off 2006 and a Finalist in the Carsberg Comedy Crown 2007 competition.
Who I'd like to meet: Comedy fans and professionals in the comedy industry
