Introduction

Andrew Rivers is one the nation's finest young comedians according to his mother, but she wishes he would stop doing jokes about her.

Andrew is consistently touring the country and racking up miles on his big comfy tour bus (a Toyota Corolla). After having already performed in 25 states in just his first few years as a comedian, Andrew was recently featured in a commercial for the Toyota dealership where he purchased the car. He was voted as a finalist in the "Tacoma Comedy Competition" and he makes regular appearances on Clear Channel Radio in Seattle.

Andrew's very personal and fun storytelling comedy, combined with his exemplary work ethic has earned him high praise from some of the best comedians in the business. You don't want to miss this show. Check him out at andrewjrivers.com.
