ANDREW CLOVER

At first sight, Andrew Clover can be one of those performers with the ability to split the audience neatly down the middle, dividing those who get it from those who just don’t. His boisterous mannerisms and penchant for getting naked on stage initially had him marked down as one of those acts so close to the spirit of the Fringe that he would inevitably disappear into obscurity. Fortunately for him, Clover became the darling of one particular broadsheet reviewer, and his profile grew, helped along with a Perrier Newcomer nomination. This is altogether a great thing, because Andrew Clover is, if nothing else, a master storyteller who can weave the most elaborate and complicated fairytales, and breathe new and vibrant life into any old stagnant narrative. Lose your inhibitions and allow his contagious enthusiasm for life pull you along on the ride.
