Entering the studio you are greeted by William Andrews himself. He is wearing a bread bag on his head giving out badges with “Willy” written on them. He seems a little agitated, perhaps nerves are taking their toll as this is his first show after a sabbatical where he got married and became a Father.
All these facts go into his show. He reminisces about his childhood and college days, where he first wore a bread bag on his head. I think that was the only reason for such head gear.
He talks at an incredible pace and covers a wide range of scenarios with great enthusiasm, if a little scatty. With the addition of photos and videos and a talking crash helmet, you truly feel part of his story, from his speech therapist to dog poo and everything in between including a little audience participation with a hilarious outcome.
With laugh out loud material and statements that make your toes curl it was an exceptional piece of stand up. A must see!
