An unexpected joy to end our long weekend in the big smoke. Wonderfully silly while being on point. Made me laugh out loud, which for a sour faced old cow (me, not the one in front) was quite nice! Enjoy Edinburgh! ⭐ – Andrew Belshaw

Fringe 2024 reviews

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

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

“Andy Zapp is a bit of a revelation.”

“His Sex and Drugs and Getting Old offers gloriously daft, old school laughs on the subject of all three, with harmonica breaks. Andy shares the bits he can remember of a life lived to the full. We get a load of fun and jokes, marvellous 'confessions' (pissing in the sink, boys?) and tales of his adored wife Barbara, crammed into an hour and delivered with an energy and zest that normally would suggest a gift from Columbia. But Andy has been straight for decades. This is all natural joie de vivre, and it is utterly adorable.”

- Kate Copstick, The Scotsman

"I just spat my tea out watching your video. It takes a lot for me to laugh. I laughed a lot at yours. You’re a very funny man.”

- Jonathon Stadlen, Live Next to The Apollo

“Hilariously funny, my face muscles ache”

- Sean Rutledge, TNT

"A very wise man...”

- Mel Giedroyc, Unforgivable

"Never seen anything like him."

- Geoff Whiting, Mirth Control
