In three short years, Andi has made a big splash on the comedy scene, with much talked about appearances on Mock The Week, Tonightly and most recently Ch4’s new topical show, Stand Up For The Week.

“Recommended”

Time Out

Having reached the final of no less than five major new talent competitions in her first year, Osho is definitely regarded as one to watch.

“Translating Osho’s words to the page doesn’t do her proper justice

… her work is visual, narrative and pivots on her perfect delivery.”

Guardian

As well as an established performer on the stand up circuit, Andi is proving to be a popular guest on radio and TV for her cheeky, quick wit and effervescence. Only this year her appearances included several guest spots on Radio 1, Big Brother’s Big Mouth and Little Brother (E4) and The Culture Show (BBC2).

“Hilarious”
