Sandy Nelson

Actor and musician Sandy began Stand-up comedy in 1997. His knowledge of and passion for music lead him to satirize the current music scene and those pop stars associated with the dumbing down of populist art and culture. He was an instant hit and has gone from strength to strength. He has had two succesful Edinburgh Fringe shows, Bedroom Popstar and Stand Up-The Musical. As the most omnipresent bit-part comedy actor in Scotland, the Rev Obadiah has referes to him as The Steve Buscemi of Scottish Comedy.

The press said:
"He could give musical comedy a good name if he's not careful." - The List.

"You just have to hear him sing and you know what he's all about. The boy is a natural" - John Linklater, The Herald.

"A surefire gag-fest of material. Natural charm and superb audience awareness." - The Scotsman.

"Without his guitar he is fuck all!" - Joe Heenan
