Stand Up For The Weekend with ANDREW MAXWELL
and GUESTS

SHARE

The stupendous Andrew Maxwell headlines for The Comedy Box for the first time in decades. We first booked Andrew back in the 90s, then he grew a little too big for us. Now he's back and we are proud to offer to you one of the best stand ups in the British Isles.

Andrew Maxwell’s comedy is intelligent, fearless and effortlessly conversational, blending razor-sharp political observation, personal storytelling and quick-witted audience interaction. His relaxed delivery disguises a meticulously crafted act that tackles everything from world affairs to everyday absurdities with warmth, curiosity and mischievous charm. Equally adept at provoking thought and generating huge laughs, Maxwell balances social commentary with an infectious sense of fun. Critics have praised him as “a master-class in mirth” (The Herald), highlighting his “sublime timing, relaxed delivery style, killer punch-lines,” while Chortle described him as “a brilliantly accomplished stand-up… hard-hitting and hilarious, politically engaged but not soapboxing.”

Throughout his long career, Andrew Maxwell has enjoyed many sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe; he has also performed at The Amnesty / Channel Four’s Secret Policeman’s Ball (alongside Eddie Izzard, Chevy Chase and Dylan Moran), Glastonbury, The HBO US Comedy & Arts Festival in Las Vegas (alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock), and made several appearances at the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. 

He was the special guest of friend Jim Jefferies for his Hammersmith Apollo dates in London. He is also a founder member of Altitude Comedy Festival, staged in the Alps. Andrew has recorded three Live DVDs with 2Entertain (Conflict Revolution, Andrew Maxwell: Live In Dublin & Andrew Maxwell: One Inch Punch).  

Live At The Apollo (BBC One), Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Comedy Game Night, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, QI, The Secret Policeman's Ball, I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! (ITV) Celebrity Juice (ITV2) and Mock The Week (BBC Two). He is also the voice of Get Your Tats Out: Kavos Inc (Channel 5). Winner of King of Comedy.​
