Andrew has performed at some varied venues including Dublin’s maximum security prison ‘Mount Joy’, whilst his ensemble show Full Mooners, (past guests include Russell Brand and Eddie Izzard) was a spectacular success at a haunted theatre in Alexandra Palace and at the E4 Udderbelly as part of the South Bank Festival. For the last two years he has also organised a hugely successful comedy and music festival ‘Altitude’ in the French Alps ski resort of Meribel. It has featured performers such as Lee Mack, Rich Hall, Ed Byrne, Ugly Duckling and DJ Brandon Block amongst others.
