Andy Hamilton, much loved and acclaimed comedian, writer, director, novelist, panellist and of course cartoon voice artist continues his tour of his brand-new night to remember this autumn.
Exploring the wonders and the weaknesses of human memory, Andy looks at how laughter oils the wheels of the brain. (Please note that Andy is not a qualified neurologist. And the brain probably does not have wheels.) In an evening of classic comedy, Andy will do his best to recall the nights to remember from his own life, as a writer, performer, producer, director, failed quiz show contestant, choir boy, under-rated footballer and cartoon elephant dentist. He’ll examine moments that have shaped his life and collective experiences that have impacted us all in an entertaining, thoughtful, but above all very funny evening with a veteran master of comedy.
Having started as a professional comedy writer in 1976 as a contributor to Radio 4’s Week Ending, Andy went on to pick up various awards for co-writing such classics as Drop the Dead Donkey (which was recently adapted for the stage) and Outnumbered. He pops up frequently on panel shows like Have I Got News For You and the inimitable I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and has written three books.
