Comedian Andrew Maxwell is bringing his show WAXIN’ to the Giggling Guiri in Madrid. He was nominated for the prestigious if.com Intelligent Finance Comedy Award for his one man show WAXIN’ at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival. His show was a sell-out success and his popular late-night ensemble comedy show MAXWELL’S FULLMOONERS, received five star reviews.

At this time of year the Giggling Guiri and Barcelona’s Irish festival “El Feile” come together to present stand up in a English language comedy show in Spain, called the ‘Best of Irish comedy special’. Every year the two team together a new and up and coming star with one of ireland’s more established acts to create a special show. Due to the amazing success and popularity of Maxwell, the Giggling Guiri have decided to feature only Maxwell and his show this month.

The comedian has quickly gained success and is one of the most important comedians in the world today. His comedy style is the most impish and cunning of all the Irish comics. He has gained a reputation as something of a cult comic thanks to his late night Maxwell’s Fullmooners shows, which take place in the early hours in a disused theatre in London.

In his hit show ‘Waxin’, he takes his audiance on a journey through the idiosyncracies of the Irish race that drove Sigmund Freud to declare that they were immune to pyschoanalysis; something he comes very close to doing in his shows, with his stories that include things from drinking sessions with the IRA, to the essence of the Corkonian .

The Comedian has recieved impressive reviews, and these are just some of them:

“One of the most significant comedians working in the country today” THE INDEPENDENT

“Andrew’s on particularly fantastic form. He’s without doubt the strongest comedian on the circuit right now” THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

“If you see one thing at this year’s Fringe please, please, please take time to see Andrew Maxwell” Five Stars, THE LIST

“A bright young comic, who will offer the fringe so much in the years to come” Four Stars, SUNDAY EXPRESS
