Andrew Maxwell

Stand-up comedian Andrew Maxwell 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.

In the past six months alone Andrew Maxwell has performed a new show at the Edinburgh Festival (THE LAMP), a nationwide tour of Ireland and has appeared as a regular panellist on RTE’s THE PANEL. He has also appeared on the most recent series of BBC’s HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU, ITV2’S CELEBRITY JUICE and the Dave channel’s ARGUMENTAL, cementing his reputation as one of the country’s most sought after comedians.

Last Autumn, Andrew Maxwell filmed 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 Maxwell is a founder member of ALTITUDE, a comedy festival staged in the Alps every Spring. 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.

In 2007 Omid starred in his own BBC1 prime time television series ‘The Omid Djalili Show’. His second series is due to be screened in 2009.
