2015 Edinburgh Fringe

More details

In these fast changing times in Scotland, a few things are certain; the best weather is at dawn, Hibs need money and like a wild animal answering some ancient call Andrew Maxwell is returning to his happiest hunting ground...Edinburgh, with a show he has full faith in but is as of yet, scant on detail. Expect blue-sky thinking, in a grey sky country.

At last year's Fringe, where Maxwell was the only comedian tackling the Referendum, he won two awards, the highly coveted Herald Angel - Little Devil Award and the Radio Forth Fringe Award and he has twice been nominated for a Fosters Comedy Award (2011 and 2013).

In Edinburgh Maxwell is well known for his late night shows Maxwell's Fullmooners.

Maxwell recently presented his own BBC Radio 4 show Public Enemies, which concerned itself with the lazy assumptions about four possible threats to British society: nationalism, the internet, drugs and the food industry.

On television, he recently presented BBC Three's Conspiracy Coach Trip, which discussed world issues such as the 7/7 bombings and UFOs. He also recently appeared on Comedy Central's Russell Howard's Stand Up Central show and numerous BBC shows including: Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You, as well as Channel 4's 8 Out Of 10 Cats. He was also a regular guest on Irish TV's The Panel.

Andrew is a co-founder of the Alps-based festival Altitude with Marcus Brigstocke, which, over the years, has featured some of comedy's biggest names including: John Bishop, Sean Lock, Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey, Micky Flanagan, Lee Mack, Al Murray, Eddie Izzard, and Jimmy Carr.
