Is Andrew Clay your real name?      
    

Yes it is. You know how you always wonder if your name sounds famous, well I know mine does 'cause someone else has already used it - Andrew 'dice' Clay
    
Who are your comedy heros?     
    

I grew up listening to Bill Cosby and lots of British stuff like Morcombe and wise, the Two Ronnies and of course Billy Connolly.

Lots of American stuff too. Eddie Murphy is a stand out but my real heros were the hard nosed Aussie Pros that I learned my trade from and with back in the early 90's at the Sydney Comedy Store.

    
Whose feet are those in the photo?     

The feet belong to my ex flatmate, former Glad Wrap girl and "The Rock's" queen of the airwaves, Lean Panapa.


Worst gig ?  

I was a young Kiwi gigging in Sydney Australia in the early 90's - there were too many bad gigs to name one, but I tell you what, those gigs toughened you up.

   
Were you always funny?   

Yeah I was actually. I was the smart arse kid at the back of the class calling things out to make the other kids laugh and annoy the teacher. Nobody I went to school with was surprised I ended up being a comedian. I'm also from a big family of wise cracking, fast talking ecentrics with a history in entertainmnet.
