Introduction

After 300 shows in each of his first two years as a comedian. Andrew Rivers quickly became one of the northwest’s breakout stars and hit the road, gaining 40,000 literal miles of experience on his car during just his third year as a comedian.

Currently, Andrew is touring across the country talking about his life experiences in a fun way, that’s relatable to almost any age audience. When he happens to be in the Seattle area, he is regularly featured on Clear Channel Radio.

His career highlights include working with Richard Lewis several times, working with the Cast of "Whose Live Anyway" and running a comedy show in a Hooters Casino for 6 months.

Andrew’s first CD: “Future Sex/Love Jokes” was available on itunes last year but is taken down now because Justin Timberlake cried when Rivers got more groupies than him. Andrew now sells them out the trunk of his Corolla (65,000 miles an counting) after his shows. You can see a list of upcoming shows here to buy one.
