My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Stewart Lee's new DVD '41st Best Stand Up Ever!' has just been released, it was recorded on his last tour and features Andy's portrait on the sleeves and on the stage backdrop. The DVD features some excellent extras including a live film of Stewart at Pestival and an interview with Johnny Vegas. More details can be found at stewartlee.co.uk.Jason Manford is embarking on a massive UK tour starting in Septemberl through to December and shows range from Southampton to Newcastle. Jason has established himself as a real TV favourite on '8 Out Of 10 Cats' and 'Tonightly' and the show should be a corker! Andy's shots are featured on his tour posters and flyers. More details at www.jasonmanford.comNew DVD sleeves : Marcus Brigstocke 'Planet Corduroy' also features an interactive gallery of shots taken by Andy over the past 5 years. Dylan Moran 'Live Collection' which includes both the 'Monster' & 'Like Totally' shows.CDs currently available from the Comedy Store that feature Andy's portraits on their covers...they're funny too!
