Stand-up show by Andrew Bird, who has supported Russell Howard, Rhod Gilbert and Troy Hawke, about the things that keep him 'on edge'.
Andrew Bird brings his new stand-up show On Edge to Social on Thursday 4 March 2027. It's a full hour of new material, and the title gives you a fair idea of where it's coming from: the things that keep him on edge. He pulls from the big stuff—global events—and the small, everyday frustrations, like the struggle to find free parking. Right in the middle is his own home life: a wife hitting perimenopause and two teenage children. It's the kind of set that works because it's grounded in the things most of us recognise.
Bird's style is relaxed and improvisatory, built on childhood stories and recent anecdotes that tend to make instant friends with his audience. He's a natural comedian, and that's what the critics have picked up on, too: The Stage called him 'a natural comedian' and Time Out described him as 'the exciting rising star'. At the UK Comedy Awards, he was voted Comic's Comic – Best Act, which is the one that counts because it's the other comics voting for him.
He's spent the last while supporting some of the biggest names in the business. He's just come off Russell Howard's current national tour, which included four straight shows at The London Palladium, and he's opened for Rhod Gilbert and Troy Hawke. He's also supported Rob Brydon, America's Brian Regan and Michelle Wolfe on their only London shows, and Michael McIntyre on an arena tour that took in Wembley and the O2. The comedy bug bit him early: watching The Young Ones with his brothers as an eight-year-old on Comic Relief, he realised then that he wanted to be funny in some way.
