Andrew O'Neill

My 5 favourite things are:
Gravity I find knives comforting. You can tell a lot about a person by the type of knife they carry. Hitler, for example used to carry a knife with a swastika on it. This tells us that he was probably a Nazi. I did a show at the 2004 Edinburgh Fringe called Andrew O'Neill and James Sherwood, Apparently. This is what we would have looked like if we'd discovered an alien in the 1950s. A little bit of politics: I started doing comedy in January 2002 at the Laughing Horse in Camden. It was a great gig, I did 7 minutes of material in about 4 minutes. Hence 'Comedy Grindcore'. I have written sketches for Radio 1's exam results campaign. I have been a regular on Radio 1's comedy show The Milk Run. I was on Channel 4's The Salon. I don't really know why. I got my hair done for free and I met Russell Grant... Due to the unusual wiring of my brain I occasionally wear women's clothes. I have been in a few bands. Sun Starved Day was the best one to date. "One of the emerging barometers of hilarity." - Time Out "He's got an engaging stage manner and the proven ability to write a gag. A bright future awaits." - Chortle "Refreshing and inventive." - Manchester Online "Scores high on the chuckle-ometer... more than a hint of genius." - Hairline "Sparkling ****" - Three Weeks |
