About Me

Hi, I'm Andy, I have a very active imagination so I often daydream and end up laughing to myself. This often worries people who don't know me, especially if they're sitting next to me on the bus. I don't care though cause I like to stay happy and I love to have a laugh. I'm really into stand-up comedy and I like films too. I love the company of people who are always up for a laugh and have a great sense of humour. I can't stand people with no sense of humour or who have a massive ego.I've been performing stand-up comedy for four years now and I've just finished performing my Edinburgh show, 'Watson's World'. My style is a combination of one-liner gags, sound effects, physical comedy and spontaneous improvisation. In October 2005 I won the City Life North West Comedian of the Year Award (past winners of the prestigious award have included Peter Kay, Caroline Aherne, Dave Spikey, Chris Addison, Justin Moorhouse). I also won Budweiser Legend of Laughter 2006 and was a Semi-Finalist in the Amused Moose Laugh Off 2006.
