A man walks into a bar and says “ouch!” A giraffe walks into a bar and says “high balls on me.” These jokes may not be very funny, but Andrew Kennedy certainly is!
This Connecticut resident has made ‘em laugh at Lincoln Center, Gotham Comedy Club, Bravo, Telemundo, and the list goes on. His Comedy Central show was voted one of the network's top twenty, and his appearance at the Montreal Comedy Festival led to offers from HBO and CBS for a television pilot about his life.
Born to a Colombian mother and British father, Andrew had already lived on three continents by the time he was 13 years old. Fluent in English and Spanish (and able to curse a blue streak in Cantonese), this bilingual comedian bridges cultural boundaries like few entertainers can.
A gifted storyteller, Kennedy covers the universal topics of parenthood, marriage, and family. His clever commentary on society compares the many differences in the cultures he's known and the people he's met. Never mean-spirited or patronizing, his brand of stand-up is “old school” relatable, performed with brilliant comedic timing!
Backstage Magazine calls Kennedy a “Comedy Best Bet” and a “Standout Stand-up Worth Watching.” We most definitely agree!
Opening the show will be Motts Pelazza. An actor and comedian from Stamford, Connecticut, Motts has been doing stand-up for over 35 years. He’s performed at Caroline’s, Catch a Rising Star, Don’t Tell Mama in NYC, and was a top finalist in New England’s Funniest Comic Competition. He’s also pretty well known in New Canaan, where he delivers mail for the United States Postal Service.
