Double If.Comedy nominated Andrew Lawrence previews his new solo show to great reviews

Andrew Lawrence gained a 'Best Newcomer' if.comedy nomination for his debut Edinburgh show in 2006 and a main award nomination for his show last year.  He is now previewing his new show 'Don't Just Do Something, Sit There!' which is gathering heat and great reviews.

The Guardian journalist Harry Deansway wrote in the Guide last Saturday:

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the many people who I expect bullied Andrew Lawrence as a young man; without you, he would not be one of the funniest and brightest young talents of the UK stand-up circuit. Lawrence continues to preview his latest offering, Don't Just Do Something - Sit There! this week. Not an act for the easily offended, the crux of Lawrence's ire is everything - mortgages, relationships, work and the general injustices of life - no detail of modern society is left unturned. His shows are wordy soliloquies in which each point has been laboured on and processed through Lawrence's unique comic mind to utter perfection, and then presented with perfect tone, rhythm and pace.

For full details of Andrew's previews go to http://www.chambersmgt.com/shows.htm or email Katy@ChambersMgt.com 

Andrew is at The Pleasance Upstairs for all of August in a 9.45pm slot. For tickets please email Charlie@ChambersMgt.com
