In an evening of non-stop comedy, Andy will do his best to recall the nights from his own life as a writer, performer, producer, director, failed quiz show contestant, choir boy, under-rated footballer and cartoon elephant dentist.He'll examine moments that have shaped his life and collective experiences that have impacted us all.Come and enjoy an entertaining and thoughtful, but above all very funny, evening with a veteran master of comedy!
