A true showman in every sense, he has dedicated his life to performance, continuing a proud family legacy that stretches back generations.
Raised in a show business family, Andrew quite literally grew up in the wings.

Whether he’s levitating assistants or orchestrating full-scale productions, he brings a unique blend of skill, elegance and old-school charm to every stage.
Away from the spotlight, Andrew is also a producer and consultant, creating tailored shows for theme parks, heritage venues and major public events. He is a tireless advocate for the preservation of variety and street performance arts, working on campaigns to protect and promote their place in British culture.
As a proud member of the Grand Order of Water Rats, Andrew continues to champion entertainment in all its forms. His generosity, enthusiasm and dedication to live performance make him not only a treasured member of the fraternity, but a key figure in keeping the magic of variety alive for future generations.
