Stand-up comedian Andrew Maxwell has won and been nominated for several awards including an Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show, a Time Out Live Award in the category of Best Stand-up, a Loaded Magazine Award for best stand-up and Chortle Award for best contribution to the live comedy circuit.
In the past six months alone Andrew has performed a new show at the Edinburgh Festival (THE LAMP), a nationwide tour of Ireland and has appeared as a regular panellist on RTE’s THE PANEL. He has also appeared on the most recent series of BBC’s HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, ITV2'S CELEBRITY JUICE and the Dave channel's ARGUMENTAL, cementing his reputation as one of the country’s most sought after comedians.
Last Autumn, Andrew filmed one-off pilot CONFLICT REVOLUTION for BBC Northern Ireland. It was released as a DVD alongside a live recording of the 2008 Edinburgh show (in Ireland) and marks Andrew’s continued development and exploration of comedy as a way of crossing cultural, social and religious borders.
Andrew is a founder member of ALTITUDE, a comedy festival staged in the Alps every Spring.
Andrew continues to dominate the live and festival circuits. Notable appearances have included several sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, The Amnesty / Channel Four Secret Policeman's Ball (alongside Eddie Izzard, Chevy Chase and Dylan Moran - "Maxwell turned it around... he made us feel part of an event" THE TIMES), at the HBO US Comedy & Arts Festival in Las Vegas (alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock), several sell-out runs in the main house of The Soho Theatre, Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival, Glastonbury and the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival.
