Comedy

In April 2011, Andy’s first book, Stand Up and Deliver: a nervous rookie on the comedy circuit was published by Lion Hudson. The sequel, The Gig Delusion, was released by McKnight and Bishop exactly two years later. The Unfortunate Adventures of Tom Hillingthwaite followed in 2015. A new book, Preacherman, is slated for 2021. ​In late 2016, Andy agreed to preach at a church in Bedford, having initially refused on the basis that he didn’t want to. The exhiliration he felt on that Sunday morning surpassed anything from over a decade in comedy, and his first love is now preaching the Gospel.

Comedy, as it turns out, was Andy’s warm-up act. He managed to bring all his stagecraft and some of his jokes across from comedy, so the transition has been much easier than one might have expected. Andy’s preferred weekend routine is a Saturday night comedy gig followed by a Sunday morning preach, and you can book him to do just that if you like.
