Trouble! Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world. Andy was a frequent guest and correspondent for the Late Show with David Letterman. Each summer at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal, Andy delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Andy wrote the “Hack’s Handbook” for National Lampoon. This “how to” guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas. Andy was recently seen as a judge on the seventh season of NBC’s Last Comic Standing. He is the star of two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials and recurs on Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place and Fox’s animation hit Bob’s Burgers. He also currently plays a fictionalized version of himself on IFC’s Maron. Other noteworthy credits include the HBO Young Comedians Special, Conan O’Brien, The Daily Show, Dr. Katz Professional Therapist and The Larry Sanders Show. Of course, Andy is most known for playing the life-affirming character “Andy” on the CBS sitcom, Everybody Loves Raymond.
