Andy has appeared on AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live, CMT’s Next Big Comic, and on Dry Bar Comedy, where his special, Adorable Tough Guy, generated over six million views on social media. Andy has been heard on the nationally syndicated Bob and Tom Radio Show and was a special guest on Larry the Cable Guy’s Weekly Round Up on Sirius XM radio. His first comedy album, Quiet Coyote, regularly plays on Laugh USA.
