We had the good fortune of connecting with Andy Huggins and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andy, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
Because I honestly believe stand-up was what I put ion this earth to do. Nothing has ever given me such satisfaction. Plus I was floundering in life with no direction. I loved comedy, had a talent for it and so with no other optionsI moved from Virginia to Los Angeles.It was the first intelligent decision I had made as an adult.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I write jokes and I tell jokes; one-liners to be specific. What sets me apart is my unique sens of humor.. Like any comic work is responsible for where I am today. Nothing about comedy and business of comedy is easy. Again, work is overcame the various challenges. I would like the world to know I’m a good stand-up comic.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
My family and friends. Without them I’d be a dead man or worse. specifically, Slade Ham Produced and directed my special, “Early Bird Special”, and did a standout job in both areas. Tommy Berretz, my manager, has been a strong guiding force and was able to the special to Comedy Dynamics which, of course, was a huge step forward. I’ve benn blessed.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My best friend knows Houston better than me. I’d let him show me around . His biggest challenge would be getting me to leave my apartment. Houston has many fine restaurants so lunch and/or dinner would terrific, no doubt. After the meals, though my friend would be on his own.
