December 29, 2014Andy is a great performer...he has a super fun vibe, and a great rapport with audiences. His sets usually combine biting observational humor with highly accessible material about his family and career. He's very consistent and professional, and we recommend him highly.

October 27, 2014Andy Shaw is a hilarious comic who really knows how to engage a crowd. From child-rearing to work culture to married life, his observational comedic style is relatable; belly laughs came quite easily for me, which is rare. He is good-natured, easy to work with, and professional. I highly recommend Andy for any event--he will not disappoint.

October 25, 2014Seriously, I would book Andy for any event, a fundraiser, a dentist appointment, anything! An incredible MC Andy keeps the focus of the room, moves the event forward with grace, and will keep your guests rolling. A man of many talents he appeals to all ages and has an incredible ability to read a room. Having Andy Shaw perform will make your next show the topic of the month!

You can expect a professional show with a lot of stage presence, self-deprecation that makes people feel welcome and relaxed, and relatable humor. Andy has performed in front of every type of crowd you can think of, and he can cater an event to what you need. Just need 15 minutes to fill in an entertainment gap? Need a two hour headliner-type event? Something in between? Whether it's doing stand up, delivering a speech about fatherhood and raising kids, or bringing in improv comedians to join him, Andy has the strong reputation, years of experience and quick wit - plus an easy-to-deal-with personality - to make your event a success.
A father of three kids, including twins, Andy is a veteran comedian (10 years) who has entertained audiences of all sizes, from family-friendly crowds to late-night bar crawlers.
Andy has made a career out of getting people to laugh with a quick wit, observational humor, and a clean humor (that gets dirtied up depending on the crowd!). He's regularly featured in Central Penn Parent magazine and he's the author of three books on being a new parent, including "The New Mom's Guide to New Dads."
Andy is a regular as an event emcee as well, hosting awards luncheons and even online events with high energy and a professional touch.
Microphone required, elevated stage and lighting preferred.
