Andrew has won and been nominated for several awards including an Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show, a Time Out Live Award in the category of Best Stand-up, a Loaded Magazine Award for best stand-up and Chortle Award for best contribution to the live comedy circuit. He was also recently voted Best Irish Comedian by the public at the Entertainment.ie awards. He has appeared on the most recent series of BBC’s HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, ITV2'S CELEBRITY JUICE, the Dave Channel's ARGUMENTAL and BBC2's MOCK THE WEEK, cementing his reputation as one of the country’s most sought after comedians. In 2008 Andrew filmed the one-off pilot CONFLICT REVOLUTION for BBC Northern Ireland. It was released as a DVD alongside a live recording of the 2008 Edinburgh show (in Ireland) and marks Andrew’s continued development and exploration of comedy as a way of crossing cultural, social and religious borders. Andrew is a founder member of ALTITUDE, a comedy festival staged in the Alps every Spring. The next one is 20th - - 26th March. Andrew continues to dominate the live and festival circuits. Notable appearances have included several sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, The Amnesty / Channel Four Secret Policeman's Ball (alongside Eddie Izzard, Chevy Chase and Dylan Moran - "Maxwell turned it around... he made us feel part of an event" THE TIMES), at the HBO US Comedy & Arts Festival in Las Vegas (alongside Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock), several sell-out runs in the main house of The Soho Theatre, Kilkenny Cat Laughs Festival, Glastonbury and the Montreal Just for Laughs Festival. “One of the best comics around... A consummate raconteur” TIME OUT "One of the most significant comedians working in the country today" THE INDEPENDENT “A brilliant show... commands the audience's attention from start to finish” THE OBSERVER“Fiercely funny and utterly invigorating” THE TIMES "Ill-advised hedonism is rarely this politically well-informed or thought-provoking" THE SCOTSMAN |
