AN EVENING WITH ANDY HAMILTON

10 June 2023

In an intimate evening of comic reflection, reminiscence and revelation, one of the most noted comedy writers and directors of the last few decades looks back over his morethan-forty years in comedy and seventy(ish) years on the planet and tries to answer some questions.

Recalling stories from his extensive professional career in comedy, Andy shares memories, anecdotes and opinions, from the political to the personal, in just a handful of selected dates this summer. Audiences will also have the opportunity to ask Andy questions on any topic, so one show will never be the same as another!

Come and enjoy an enlightening, entertaining and above all funny evening with an award-winning master of comedy.

Beginning in 1976 as a contributor to Radio 4’s Weekending, Andy went on to pick up a raft of awards for co-writing and codirecting such household TV classics as Drop The Dead Donkey and Outnumbered. His TV satires turned up the heat on Westminster with Ballot Monkeys and Power Monkeys, and he and his co-writer Guy Jenkin also penned and directed the hit British comedy feature film What We Did On Our Holiday. A second series of their latest sitcom

Kate & Koji, starring Brenda Blethyn, aired on ITV earlier last year.

In addition, Andy’s numerous TV and radio credits include Have I Got News For You, QI, Andy Hamilton Sort of Remembers, The News Quiz, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue, Trevor’s World Of Sport and Old Harry’s Game… not to mention as the voice of Dr Elephant, the dentist in the children’s highly popular TV show Peppa Pig.
