Where to see Will Andrews:

The Spotlight on ... Will Andrews

Monday, February 22 2010

A warm welcome please for Will Andrews he's not long been in London, but he's a dead good comic (with a Scottish Bafta to his name, dontcha know) and this week he brings his one-man show to the Soho Theatre. Let's meat him haha! Ha! Ugh.


Name: William Andrews

Where do you live?: North London. I used to live in Scotland and peddled my brand of bullshit under the name Tony Carter. I miss the water but not the weather

How long have you been gigging?: Too long. Moving to London made me start again – a reset if you will

What do you do?: Lost of different things as quickly as I can. I try to paint pictures of situations just off-centre. Make little worlds with music and banality. I don’t do satire

Who makes you laugh?: Brian Gittins – like a fucking drain

At which London venues do you usually appear?: Lots of places, I’m trying to gig as much as bleeding possible. I started a night called Joke Party at the Wilmington arms so more there I hope

What is your favourite London venue?: My favourite is Knock2Bag In Shepherds Bush. It was the first time I got a feeling that there are clubs in London that are as good as the Stand in Glasgow

What are you/should you be famous for?: The kids show Sorry I’ve Got no Head has a surprising amount of adult fans – other than that, I was a contestant on Bargain Hunt ...

Name one overrated and one underrated comic: Michael McIntyre for both.

Which celebrity do you look like?: That guy from teachers, Andrew Lincoln and Morgan Freeman

Whose sex face would you least like to see?: My attackers'

Audiences love it when I ... make it look like it all fell apart at the seams

Audiences hate it when I ... steal their wallets


All yours, Will ...
