“Ill-advised hedonism is rarely this politically well-informed or thought-provoking” – THE SCOTSMAN

Andrew Maxwell, one of Ireland’s finest comedy exports, is set to release his hilarious new live DVD Andrew Maxwell: One Inch Punch: Live At Vicar Street on November 19th. The new DVD, packed with Maxwell’s trademark funnies, was filmed at the Vicar Street venue in his hometown of Dublin. If you were unlucky enough to miss this fantastic live show, the DVD happily gives you the best seat in the house for one of the most loved comedians pretending to work in the world today….and he’s not afraid to slag your Ma’ either!

Maxwell is more than a stand-up comedian – he’s an intrepid social commentator and political protagonist on a mission to liberate minds with the power of comedy. His brand new stand up, Andrew Maxwell: One Inch Punch: Live At Vicar Street, is Andrew at his best, displaying his unique blend of comedy and well-observed fast-paced streams of consciousness. Maxwell covers everything from the recession, religion and victims of the volcano to escaping orangutans, all delivered in his typical sharp, and well observed retort. With a set that challenges the crowd by discussing the controversial or taboo he looks to engage his audience and lure them into his riotous world. Andrew’s topical show is everything you would expect from the return of the award winning funny man and more.

Andrew Maxwell One Inch Punch: Live At Vicar Street also includes a unique 20 minute documentary entitled, Night Of The Heckle. This engaging film guides us behind the scenes of Andrew’s life as a comedian as we follow him doing four gigs in one night and highlights the way in which he deals with every comedian’s nightmare – the hecklers!
