Andy Hobo

Andy Hobo has been on the comedy circuit since September 2003. He’s a master of understatement & has an extremely likable manor on stage. With his unshakable grin crowds warm to him quickly. Covering a broad range of topics including smoking cannabis, crap jobs & the environment, his strong twenty-minute set contains something for everyone. His energy is infectious & he jumps onto the stage with an axe!

Being more than comfortable with opening, middle & compere spots, Andy has also closed at some of the smaller clubs on the circuit with ease.

Andy is based in South Shropshire, drives & works regularly with midlands based comedians.

What They Said –

Damion Larkin
Likeable and relaxed stage presence.
Saw him compere a potentially difficult room with ease.

Zak Turner (Hilarity House, Kidderminster)
Had a good gig at The Hilarity House. Opened to a quiet crowd, but he stuck in there and got some laughs.

Dhar (Mango Chutney, Birmingham)
I booked him at The Mango Chutney night in Birmingham and he had the crowd from the first minute when he got out his picture of Brains from the Thunderbirds. Great banter with the crowd and some really funny material, delivered sharp as a sharp thing!! Will definitely book him for a longer set, as the crowd loved him.

Barry Pigeon (Aberystwyth)
Andy made the journey to Gorilla Monsoon's in Aberystwyth and closed the first half of what turned out to be a really good night well with fine twenty.
Andy's routine is guaranteed to catch on wherever there are rubbish jobs and marijuana.
On top of that, a nice guy too. Check out his gig in Bishops Castle.

Paul Tregaskis (Paignton)
He went on first to a room that had not been warmed up. He could have struggled but did not and the audience liked his material. He warmed up the room nicely. He had some sweet punch lines that with time, more material and continued stage time will lead to him stepping up to the next level. I don't like to reveal other people's jokes but his joke about having to put his hand up to go toilet when working at the call centre got a huge laugh.
He worked very hard and got a good result. He was asked for his autograph too!

Peter Kerr (Hullabaloo Swansea)
This is the second time I've seen him and am impressed at his style, which is laid-back, consistently charming and evenly paced, with the audience instantly warming to his unshakeably cheeky grin. His material is intelligent, perceptive and nicely leftfield in places and stands out from the usual range of 'what I did when I was pissed, stoned or shagging' stories that proliferate the circuit. Andy is sharpening his act, timing and interaction with the audience and just needs a few more gigs under his belt to become a regular opener. He did a good job for us in Swansea and is excellent value for money, so hopefully other clubs will get him booked up quickly!

Dave Powner (Giggle, Wolverhampton)
I've seen and worked with Andy countless times now, and he always seems to have some quality new material. He gets better every time, benefiting from the wide variety of his topics. Extremely comfortable on stage, and holds the joint record for most appearances at my club, with three.
