Having just graduated from law school in Melbourne, Andy decided to leave Australia and move to China to explore the world. He started off finding 9-5 jobs then stumbled upon creating a community with other comedians to share laughter with people living in China. Comedy clubs popped up in major non-Western cities around the world from around 2009. Then in 2010 Andy and his business partners founded the first comedy club in China, Kung Fu Komedy. From the many ups and downs of this journey of building this community Andy shares the many pivotal points that he went through and learned in the process to where he is at today. In short, laughter is healing in the times we live in today! (Recorded on August 10, 2022)

From 2010 to 2017 China’s opening up to the world hit a peak and Shanghai became the most exciting place to live on earth. Until it all came crashing down.

Andy started China’s local comedy scene, launched several comedy clubs, toured the country performing standup in English and Chinese, worked on the online series Mamahuhu, got squashed by the Cultural Bureau, married a Russian Korean, has two kids, and sort of lived to tell the tale.
