He developed, produced and starred in his own television pilot for CBS, hosted a network Up-front presentation at Lincoln Center and has performed live in London, Kilkenny, Toronto, Amsterdam, Colombia, Mexico; even the 1.8 billion dollar Atlantis resort 'The Palms' in Dubai, Arab Emirates.
This Colombian born actor, writer and comedian is an extremely versatile performer, capable of performing in both English and Spanish. His Comedy Central half hour special was voted one of the network's top twenty and appears regulary on the network. His comedy explores people, culture, marriage, parenting and politics; and with15 years in the business under his belt, only now does he believe he's ready to really reach his full potential.
Andrew was born in Bogota, Colombia and spent most of his formative years in South America, the Caribbean and the Far East. His mother is Colombian and father British. His family settled in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1980 and after surviving middle school, high school and college, he began doing what he was born to do all along. That is to make people laugh very, very hard.

En Español
Telemundo
Andrew's first televised performance completely in Spanish was on Telemundo. "TuNite con Lorenzo Parro" is a late night alternative for the younger Latin audience to what is normally found on Spanish language television. With 60% of the 50 million Hispanics in the United States fully bi-lingual, it's not difficult to forsee a show or even a network created soon for this completely bi-lingual market.
Andrew Kennedy has performed stand-up comedy all over the world for the past 15 years. He has performed comedy in almost every kind of venue imaginable and in front of almost every kind of audience. From Madison Square Garden, to Lincoln Center, to The Comedy Cellar in New York City. He has performed in England, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Mexico and everywhere from Toronto to Dubai. But his favorite place to perform has always been comedy clubs and the smaller theaters. Over the course of 15 years, he has played a lot of them...
Andrew excels in corporate entertainment. His worldly background allows him to connect easily with multicultural audiences. He bridges ethnic boundaries with skillful ease, is fully bi-lingual in Spanish and Teleprompter ready. His dedication to fully preparing for each and every event doesn't detract from his natural spontaneity and quick wit. From smaller events where the atmosphere is casual, to the most sophisticated of corporate functions where a tuxedo is 'de rigueur', Andrew Kennedy will make it a truly memorable experience.
