Having performed worldwide at the Montreal, Australian and Edinburgh Comedy Festivals and becoming a regular fixture on the Kilkenny Cat Laughs Calendar, Andrew Stanley is one of the top comics working the Worldwide Comedy Circuit today. Whether it’s performing as Resident MC in numerous clubs around Ireland, one of which is the legendary Comedy Cellar in Dublin, or as a quality act in his own right Andrew is always high energy and quick witted enough to keep audiences thoroughly entertained.

In the past 4 years Andrew has travelled to the Adelaide Fringe Festival twice, made his debut at the Melbourne, Sydney and New Zealand Comedy Festivals and was invited to the prestigious Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. He also travelled to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2006 where he teamed up with Australian comic Damian Clark in a show entitled I Dare Ya (“Great late night fun” Independent On Sunday) which was then turned into a highly successful TV show on RTE2 in 2007.

He returned to Edinburgh in 2008 armed with 2 shows – His first debut solo show and his own brand of late night entertainment, Andrew Stanley’s Comedy Mish Mash, which returned the following year after receiving rave reviews along with a new solo show On Sale Now.

“a hugely energetic performance, literally bouncing around the stage and infusing the room with an infectious passion” – chortle.co.uk (2007)

“rarely can two men enthrall an audience with such amusing banter, and warm, welcoming charm. Theirs is a bizarre but brilliant show, full of biscuits, music and a real interest in the people they’re performing to… the most fun filled hour you’ll find at the Fringe ****” – Three Weeks (2008)

“what the fringe is all about, young comics showing off their talents and having a fun time doing it ****” – Fresh FM (2008)

“****” – The List (2009)

“his euphoria is easily passed to an audience who laughs at every joke” **** – Hairline (2009)
