Not content with being confined to a nursing home and having his arse wiped, pensioner-cum-comedian Andy Zapp has been firing off his quick-witted one-liners to anyone who’ll listen since 2011.
A regular on the London comedy circuit, Cockno-Taff Pole Andy has built up a rep for his madcap adult humour delivered via audacious double-entendres with the odd blues harmonica riff in between.
According to his other online bios, he’s living proof that you have to be old to be funny…

Fringe 2024 reviews
“Was a little unsure as whether to go to this show. Turns out I need'nt have worried. Extremely well written and delivered. Drawing on his very eventful past, he provides a funny side to life. You are only on this earth once, go see him and listen to his take on it.
I laughed and genuinely had a tear in my eye listening to his story. The poem he delivers is fantastic.”
– Gordon Meredith
“Love this guy, a cheeky old man with a glint in his eye, telling top draw bad taste jokes alongside fascinating stories from a life well lived.
Punchlines that come out of nowhere, and great little musical interludes. Like spending an hour with Johnny Rotten if he hadn't gone off the rails.”
– Mark Tomlinson
