Funnier than
ever Perrier newcomer nominee, 5 star stand-up Andrew Clover, former cub and
excitable manchild, is unmissable.
"Cheerful, honest, very funny. Highlight of the Fringe"
Mail.
"Passion, generosity, intelligence. Gather up all the
stars other shows have thrown away and give them to Andrew
Clover". Scotsman
"Superb … joyous … stunning" Chortle.
Fringe 2000 Nominated Perrier Best Newcomer; rave
reviews: "set for certain stardom" The Telegraph.
Fringe 2001 He stripped naked, threw himself out of a
plane, conducted a live séance . Some press loved it - "No one
affects an audience like Clover" (Scotsman *****) - but many
loathed it: "the entire Perrier Panel agreed he should be locked
up" (The Observer).
But he got his own BBC Radio4 series, Storyman, and wrote a
filmscript for Terry Gilliam.
Fringe 2002 The audience were invited on stage in
Birthday Party, a wild gameshow, to fight each other. The
Scotsman again gave it 5 stars:"the most fun I've had in
Edinburgh with my clothes on", Ronnie Corbett said it was his
Fringe favourite, and it sold out.
Since then he's filmed four television shows including Jonathan
Creek, Inspector Linley and Murder in Mind (all screened in
March 2003).
Also Andrew has developed into a real stand-up
comedian, sometimes gigging 2 or 3 times a night, often
headlining, and once doing an entire evening when bizarrely the
audience didn't show up until after the other acts had gone
home! He's had standing ovations, screams for encores, people
have even cried.
Set to be one of the hottest tickets of the summer, the
show, 'Andrew Clover, Supercub' is a straightforward, wise,
hilarious stand-up about why he loves snails, hates parents, and
yearns for naked ex-girlfriends in his mind. Personal,
philosophical yet very funny indeed, and this time without any
audience participation, it is now ready for the press, the
public and the Perrier.
