Andy is an award-winning stand-up comedian currently navigating his approaching 40's  - a milestone his family lovingly calls a midlife crisis, though he prefers to treat it as a "rebrand". His comedy draws heavily on self-deprecation, sharp domestic observations, and his experiences as a self-confessed "terrible husband. 

His sets frequently explore the hilarious and relatable realities of everyday life, from his spectacular failures at DIY projects to his wife gifting me 52-stone heavy-duty bathroom scales adorned with a whale. 
On stage, he is an unapologetic enthusiast for plain, mass-produced white bread and his double-drawer, rose-gold trim Ninja air fryer.

Blind, female, 30s, LGBTQ+, no, I’m not just trying to tick diversity boxes, it’s all true.  

While I’d rather the blindness bit wasn’t the first thing people notice about me, it would be the elephant in the room if I didn’t mention it. I’m also a musician, big football fan and keen consumer of beer and whisky, but no-one asks about that, even if I’m on the floor, just blame it on the eyes… I didn’t see that bit of flat ground…
