Andy Kind

Andy has been on the circuit since January 2005, since which time he has clocked up - owing to his willingness to travel almost anywhere - a large number of gigs.

As well as having held residencies as compere at 2 Off The Kerb venues, Andy runs Lunacy Comedy - based in Stoke-on-Trent. By the start of 2006, there will be at least 5 gigs running regularly under the Lunacy umbrella.

Andy has done corporate work, written for local radio, had articles published in various magazines, and as a stand-up is now gigging almost exclusively as a paid 15-20 act. He has also headlined some of the smaller gigs around the North of England.

With jokes ranging from one-liners to drawn out anecdotes, and subjects touching on topics from quirks of the English Language to his own Christianity, Andy is quickly finding a unique voice for his comedy. Add to this his super-strong stage presence, and you have a very exciting, promising act.
