About this show
An only child with two siblings, Andrew White enjoyed a precocious childhood befriending retirees and penning self-indulgent poetry, until a literal circus clown warned him of imminent death on his 18th birthday. All the jester foretold came to pass, and now Andrew must reflect on life without three close loved ones and do his best to honour their memories. A hilarious, raw and heart-warming stand-up show all about living right, dying happy and appealing parking fines with a 76% success rate. 'Very funny' (Joe Lycett). 'Outrageously funny' (BroadwayWorld.com). 'A plethora of memorable gags' (Chortle.co.uk).

White is an up and coming comedian who’s got a long career ahead of him if he chooses to continue to work in stand-up.
— Theatre and Arts Reviews (4 out of 5 stars)
Wasn’t he lovely? Just ask Phil the celebrant. But seriously, he was. OK, funnily, he was. Very Funnily as it happens, nicely illustrating how to compose an hour of laughs with few swear words or much fabricated…
— North West End UK (4 out of 5 stars)
This is an accomplished performer, with exquisite comic sensibility and flair for storytelling, and the whisperings of quality were not, in fact, incorrect.
