About Anthony Heston and Andy Zapp
Grandad and Me Do Stand Up Comedy features Anthony Heston and Andy Zapp — a grandson and his grandad performing stand-up together. Sweet in theory, risky in practice, and very funny in reality, the show serves up sharp jokes, family stories and the generational clashes that only come from almost killing each other at Christmas. Performed at Hollywood with audience participation and strong language. For audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
The premise is disarming and the chemistry is real — you can't manufacture the dynamic between a grandson and his grandad. Sharp jokes, genuine warmth and generational friction: catch it before it gets too polished.
