Entertainment

Since bursting onto the scene in 2019 with a selection to the prestigious Just For Laughs New Faces Showcase, Atlanta-based comic Andrew Stanley has been bringing his unique brand of dry, observational comedy to clubs, theaters, and arenas all across the country. While Stanley is a product of homeschooling, he’s no stranger to the limelight. He hails from a long line of preachers, where early gigs included his father’s congregation of over 30,000 weekly visitors. His first show came in 2016 entertaining over 6,000 people introducing Tim Tebow at a leadership conference and from there his comedic chops continued to mature. In 2021, he opened for Jeff Foxworthy and Leanne Morgan in Greensville, SC at the Bon Secours Arena for 12,000. Andrew has continued to support top theater acts like Marc Maron, David Spade, John Crist, Kathleen Madigan, John Lovitz and Dusty Slay. In 2023, Andrew was hand selected by Nate Bargatze to be featured in the inaugural season of “The Showcase” on Nateland.
