Andy Askins has become a sought-after headliner at the UK’s major comedy clubs, earning admiration from both audiences and fellow comedians alike. His expertly crafted routines are masterpieces littered with an eclectic mix of offbeat original comic songs and parodies. If a Panda and Chuck Norris ever had a child, it still wouldn’t match Andy Askins’ efficiency at disarming people. You never quite know what he is going to say, and his setup lines rival most people’s punchlines. Watching him perform is an absolute blast.
