Andrew O'Neill

Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning comedian,  musician and best-selling writer.  A psychedelic non-binary whirlwind, they combine surrealism, polemic and good old-fashioned stagecraft to produce uniquely counter-cultural stand-up.

They have acted opposite John Hamm and David Tennant inGood Omens, Steve Coogan inSaxondaleand Tom Burke and Ellie Bamber in Alan Moore’s filmThe Show.

Andrew has performed in over a dozen different countries, at over a hundred different festivals and is equally at home in rowdy comedy clubs as performing to their own cult following.

They co-wrote and starred in Radio 4’s occult sitcom Damned Andrew.

They are author of the bookA History Of Heavy Metal, described by living legend Alan Moore as

"a comprehensive landmark analysis of an enormous area of music that has been too long without such a thing, and has the massive advantage of the funny being turned up to twelve. A loud and thoroughly engrossing love-story."

TV credits include Good Omens 2, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Saxondale, 50 Years Of Rock Excess, The Blame Game, Spicks and Specks and Good News Week. Their own Radio 4 stand-up show Pharmacist Baffler won an award. A natural fit at music festivals, they have performed stand-up at Glastonbury, Download, Leeds and Reading, Bloodstock, Latitude, V-Fest and supported Amanda Palmer, Les Claypool and once even the Kaiser Chiefs at the London Palladium.

They are a founder member of the Victorian-obsessed punk band The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing, whose distinctive anachro-punk gained a cult following and besmirched the stages of music festivals worldwide.

O'Neill has written and toured a shit-tonne of critically-acclaimed solo comedy shows, including Occult Comedian, Winston Churchill Was Jack The Ripper, MINDSPIDERS, Alternative, early AHDH show Andrew O'Neill is Easily Distracted, Andrew O'Neill's Black Magick Fun Hour and the critically-acclaimed GEBURAH.
