Andrew Stanley – On Sale Now

Andrew Stanley is full of energy. He talks a thousand words a minute, he laughs with the audience, he is excited about his subject matter. It is obvious that Stanley loves his job, and his euphoria is easily passed to an audience who laughs at every joke, and shares Stanley’s own amazement at the stories he tells.
Linking the whole routine is the idea of e-bay, and the different randomly wonderful things you can find in it. Through a list of his five favourite bidding objects, Andrew rants about internet, the Irish’ love for potatoes, current political and financial news and even his sister’s dog. It is all done in a positive way, mind you, never in a deprecating manner, which surely is a breathe of fresh air in stand-up circles. If there is anything you notice from Andrew Stanley is his constant state of positivisim, the puns of his jokes never needing of expelliatives to sound funnier, nor over exageration to sound more appealling. The every day life, it seems, is enough to generate copious amounts of laughter.
Andrew Stanley’s career might be confined, at the moment, to doing stand-up in a small, dark room, but he surely deserves much better. Not only does he seem to be an amazing human being (offering to go in search of his bag where he has some saline solution for a girl who seems to have some problems with her contact lense), but he is an asonishingly underrated comedian who is worthy of a bigger audience. Get your tickets, now, you don’t find comedy this good in the internet, nor you can buy such a fun hour in e-bay.
