About me:
My name is Andrew Bird. I am from Northamptonshire. I watched The Young Ones with my brothers when I was eight years old at two in the morning on Comic Relief. Because it was for charity I was allowed to stay up. I have wanted to try and be funny in some way ever since. Then I saw Billy Connolly and Lee Evans and it all made sense. I moved to South London a while back and have been doing stand up ever since. Hope to see you at a gig some time.Who I'd like to meet:

Interests
General
Comedy; Music - Listening to. Watching music DVD's, I once watched all of The Beatles Anthology in a row (that is 11 hours). You should try The Beatles Anthology challenge. Going to gigs. Not music festivals, call me boring but I like a venue with a roof and decent sound and then going back to my own bed; Films; Football; Painting; I have no other interests!Music
These are pretty much the bands I worship the air their music vibrates in. In no particular order: The Beatles, Oasis, Crowded House, Neil Finn, The Finn Brothers (pretty much anything involving Neil Finn), The Stone Roses, Tom Baxter, Jon Allen, The Squids, Gavin Osborn, Duke Special, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, The Band (The Last Waltz is the best live DVD you will ever see), Bob Dylan, Donovan, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Traveling Wilburys, The Charlatans, Stereophonics, Travis, Kasabian, Jet, Neil Young, Wilko, Arctic Monkeys. That should cover it and allow you to judge me as you see fit.Movies
Television
Don't really get to see much TV as I'm usually doing a gig. Anything with Gordon Ramsey. Sitcoms: Only fools and Horses, Men Behaving Badly, Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Office, Extras, Alan Partridge, Early Doors, Bottom, The Young Ones. Deal or No Deal - I do like to see peoples dreams shattered before their eyes.Books
Autobiographies mainly: Muhammed Ali, Frank Skinner, Billy Connolly, Bill Hicks - Agent of Evolution, Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry Finn. The Qu'ran and the Bible are both a good light romp.Heroes
Muhammed Ali, Billy Connolly, The Beatles, Noel Gallagher, Parents, Nana Kelly (Shouldn't really have a favourite Nana, but I'm quite confident my other nana doesn't go on MySpace), Uncle Johnny.
