The UK comedy scene's most bigoted scumbag, back with a new hour of morally repugnant, borderline criminal material in the very poorest taste. No laugh too cheap. Bring a friend who's easily offended, and be sure to take everything at face value. As seen on Live At The Apollo, star of four series of his own show on BBC Radio 4. 'With every passing minute of his set you marvel at his chutzpah and worry that he has a death-wish' **** (Telegraph). **** (Metro). ***** (Mirror). ***** (Edinburgh Evening News). **** (Scotsman).

In Edinburgh, liberal comics' contempt for the masses has been laid bare.
Tom Slater, Spiked, 26th August 2016Andrew Lawrence on causing offence
Saying the unsayable is the lifeblood of comedy. Giving voice to the unspeakable, the dark and the downright disturbing is a very different prospect altogether. So what to make of Andrew Lawrence, "Britain's most Right-wing stand-up", who is currently playing to outraged audiences at the Edinburgh Festival, and who last month - the day after a lone gunman went on a killing spree inside a fast-food restaurant in Munich - tweeted: "The real tragedy of this is that McDonald's was just starting to get over its run of bad news."
