“Refreshingly candid, sincere and full of innovative humour… naturally, undeniably, laugh-out-loud funny… a truly genius and important show” – ★★★★★ – Ed Fringe Review
▪️ Andy Fury
Despite starting comedy out of “sheer boredom” just a few years ago, Andy Fury has impressed a lot of people in a short space of time with a wonderful mix of self-deprecating dark jokes and off the wall surrealism.
