Andy Askins
A cracking comedian who’s made me belly laugh every time I’ve seen him over the years!!
Kevin Bridges
Pure funny! Andy is a master of the understated but the laughter he generates is anything but. He has so many of my all-time favourite jokes. Hilarious

He just makes you laugh! He’s got funny bones

Andy Askins is a diminutive figure who gives off an air of vulnerability as he steps up to the microphone armed with a guitar and a cheeky grin.
Don’t be fooled…it’s just a guise which serves to heighten the impact of the killer lines that he delivers.
Andy has built a reputation as a distinctive and original performer, as well as a masterful joke writer. He has a rare ability to disarm an audience the moment he steps on stage. You never quite know what’s coming next — it could be a story, a one-liner, a song, or even a poem. He has a knack for turning the simplest setup into something unexpectedly funny, and watching him at work is always a joy.
Sep 2025 saw him celebrating 20 years as a full-time comedian and Andy is recognised as one of the most distinctive performers on the UK and international comedy circuit. A highly sought-after headliner, he’s known for expertly crafted routines and an eclectic mix of offbeat comic songs and parodies. With a wickedly dry sense of humour and a modest, self-deprecating style that leaves audiences in the palm of his hand.
He has previously worked with Michael McIntyre, Lee Evans, Jason Manford, Alan Carr, Jimmy Carr, Micky Flanagan, Harry Hill, Rhod Gilbert, Bill Bailey and Jack Dee, to name but a few.
From entertaining soldiers in Saddam Hussein’s Palace in Iraq to playing a sold-out Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust Andy has delighted in every corner of the globe.
