About Andy Needham
Andy Needham, New York comedian and choreographer associated with Stamptown, brings this 60-minute comedy and dance show to Just Up The Stairs at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show follows a lowly circumcised boy from New York City with a passion for Hip Hop, tracking his life from birth to Fortune 500 CEO, through alien invasion, cabals of global elites and a world on the verge of apocalypse. When the world attempts to destroy him for being himself, things escalate — and a resolution involving break dancing follows. Suitable for ages 16 and over, tickets are £6.
Why see this show?
A bold, genre-blending solo show from a New York comedian and choreographer — part absurdist comedy, part Hip Hop performance, with break dancing woven into the climax. Energetic and unlike most shows at the Fringe.
