Andrew Santino Tickets

A stand-up comedian, podcaster, producer, and actor, Andrew Santino is one of the hardest-working entertainers in contemporary show business. Often juggling multiple projects at once (he's appeared in I'm Dying Up Here, NBC's "This Is Us" and FXX's "Dave"), Santino is immediately recognizable for his observational comedy and shock of red hair.

Born in River North, Chicago, in 1983, Santino was raised by a single mother and lived in Section 8 housing. After attending Arizona State University, one of his first TV appearances was in 2012 on MTV's "Punk'd" reboot, where he was a writer and acted in a number of celebrity pranks. Over the next few years, he made appearances on "The Office," "Arrested Development," "Family Tree," "Mixology," "Sin City Saints," "American Dad," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Adam Devine's House Party," "Conan," The Disaster Artist, and more.

Toward the end of 2015, Santino released a comedy album Say No More. That same year, he did "The Half Hour" on Comedy Central. In 2017, he released the comedy special Andrew Santino: Home Field Advantage on Showtime, which was also released as an album.

Santino's biggest break arguably came in 2017 when he played the role of Bill Hobbs in the comedy-drama I'm Dying Up Here. Santino is also well known for his role on the FXX comedy "Dave," which was famously co-created by rapper/comedian Lil Dicky. Santino plays Mike, Dave's roommate and eventual manager.

A prolific podcaster, Santino currently produces and hosts the podcast "Whiskey Ginger," where he interviews friends in the entertainment industry over whiskey. In 2020, Santino began co-hosting a podcast called "Bad Friends" with fellow comedian Bobby Lee.

Opening up about his philosophy as a working comedian, Santino told Vulture in 2016: "I think the fundamental issue with comedians is everyone wants to be a famous comedian. That's a really difficult thing to achieve in comedy. Ask people on the street and there's probably only three famous comedians they can name, unless they're comedy fans. To be famous in comedy is unbearably difficult. But I don't care what people know me for as long as they know me for work that I'm proud of. I love acting. I love television and film. I hope to do that for the rest of my life. I also hope to do standup for the rest of my life. I'm making a living doing both and I'm so fortunate and grateful to be able to do that."
