Press Kit

Thanks for visiting my press kit page. I would describe my act as witty observational humor, with a twist of funny life experiences sprinkled in. You’ll learn about me, my struggle and my family. You’ll also learn about my experiences on the road as a comic and things that make me go “hmm?”

Whatever wacky show, venue, city or event you’re considering hiring me for, you can be confident that my act works for almost any show and I can handle any odd situation. I’ve hosted a fair, I’m currently working as an announcer at a race track and I’ve even performed a comedy for a nursing home.

A Few Interesting Videos:

Andrew Rivers on The Bob Rivers Show – KZOK 102.5FM:
I’ve been fortunate to have access to the entertainment industry at a young age. Because my dad works in the radio, he would let me come in a tell some jokes even as I was just starting comedy. It’s allowed me to develop an ability to give an entertaining and informative interview, taught me to be quick on my feet and responsive to my surroundings. Here’s a video of me on The Bob Rivers Show on KZOK from May 19, 2010.

Andrew Rivers at Tyee Event Center
I just shot this recently. August 20th, 2010 at the Tyee Event Center in Tumwater, Wa. I’m very happy that I’ve got a new short video to put on here. It was clipped from a longer feature set because I already have a pretty good video of me featuring and it focuses on showing off a lot of my newest polished material and good stage presence. It also shows off my new HD camera. Don’t I look fantastic?

Andrew Rivers at the Tacoma Comedy Underground
This video was shot May 22nd. It’s an example of my set in the 20-25 minute range. (Youtube only allows videos under 15 minutes). The woman who went up before me is “Barbara” a post-op Transsexual who does comedy in the Seattle area. I filmed a little bit of her set to put my first joke into context. She made a joke about Oprah giving away cars under the seat. Barbara was giving away Blowjobs under everyone’s seat. So I had to check my seat to make sure I wasn’t the winner. Some of the bits are a little dated now that it was months ago, and things have been added and deleted, but the video shows my improved timing, confidence and lots of material some people haven’t heard that makes me a solid feature act able to follow any comic.
