FOLLOWING several sold out tours of his most recent show Change Management, award-winning comedian, comedy writer and director Andy Hamilton is back with his first ever up close and personal show, An Evening With Andy Hamilton.

And one of those evenings will be at The Roses in Tewkesbury.

A spokesman said: “Audiences will have the opportunity to ask Andy questions on any topic as he takes a look back at his very extensive professional career in comedy. “Beginning in 1976 as a contributor to Radio 4’s Weekending, Andy went on to pick up a raft of awards for co-writing and co-directing such household TV classics as Drop The Dead Donkey and Outnumbered.”

The spokesman added: “Most recently, his TV satires turned up the heat on Westminster with Ballot Monkeys and Power Monkeys, and he and his co-writer Guy Jenkin also penned and directed the hit British comedy feature film What We Did On Our Holiday.

“Andy’s numerous TV and radio credits include Have I Got News For You, Q.I., Andy Hamilton Sort of Remembers, The News Quiz, I’m Sorry I Haven’t A Clue and Old Harry’s Game.”

The spokesman said: “Expect a funny and revealing night out with a master of comedy!”

His last tour, Change Management, focussed on life’s more important questions, such as where did all the sparrows go?

His latest offering will be more nostalgic, as he looks back, possibly to see if any sparrows are still flying about.

Famously short, Andy one claimed he was an easy six footer, until a tree fell on him!

The date for the diary is Saturday November 17.
