Andrew Bird: On Edge

On Edge is a stand-up comedy show by Andrew Bird, staged at The Wardrobe in Leeds and built around everyday worries, from global events to household chores.

On Edge is a brand-new stand-up comedy show by Andrew Bird. The material turns on the constant worries that occupy the comedian, from global events to the hunt for free parking. Family life supplies much of it: a wife going through the perimenopause, teenage children, and the attempt to hang a wine rack. Against this background, the show asks how anyone could stay calm.

Andrew Bird has recently supported Russell Howard on the current national tour, with a run of shows at The London Palladium, and has also supported Rhod Gilbert and Troy Hawke. At The UK Comedy Awards, Andrew was voted Comic's Comic-Best Act. Earlier support slots include Russell Howard at Bristol's Ashton Gate stadium, Rob Brydon, Brian Regan and Michelle Wolfe on their London shows, and Michael McIntyre on an arena tour including Wembley and the O2.

The show is staged at The Wardrobe, a venue that hosts concerts and shows in Leeds. Russell Howard has described Andrew as a brilliantly funny comedian, Rhod Gilbert has called the act funny as hell, and Troy Hawke has praised the work simply by saying to keep going and never change. Michael McIntyre has said Andrew was consistently funny across a full arena tour.
