2011 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

Andrew Doyle's stand-up was recently described by one critic as "a crash course in depravity". Andrew took this as a compliment, and has used it as the starting point for his debut solo show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, directed by Perrier award-winner Scott Capurro.

Andrew's new show delivers an irreverent overview of the darker side of human nature. Andrew confronts his own vices and asks his audience to confront theirs. Moral degeneracy has never been so funny.

Andrew has been on the comedy circuit for three years and has quickly excelled through the ranks to developing his first solo hour. He was a finalist in the 2010 Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year Award. He supported Scott Capurro on his UK tours in 2010 and 2011.

Andrew's previous Edinburgh shows include Christie & Doyle's Axis of Evil (with Bridget Christie) at the Underbelly in 2005, The Holy Trinity in 2009 (compilation stand-up show for the PBH Free Fringe), Sex and Hugs and Forward Rolls in 2010 for the Five Pound Fringe, and the Shakespearean farce Shamlet, which was a sell-out show at C Venues in 2003, later transferring to the King's Head Theatre in London in 2006. He was also the principal writer on Pop Tarts, a sketch show which enjoyed a total sell-out run at the Pleasance Courtyard in 2003. Andrew has also written two comedy plays for BBC Radio 4: Jimmy Murphy Makes Amends (2008) and The Second Mr Bailey (2010). His stage play Borderland (2005) was published by Oberon Books.
