Biography

Andy studied Commerce at the University of Melbourne where he met comedic partner Hamish Blake, with whom he hosted the short lived comedy program Hamish & Andy on Australia's Seven Network

Before this, Andy appeared with Hamish, Ryan Shelton and Duncan Campbell on Channel 31's Radio Karate, and had various spots on the radio stations FOX FM and 3SYN 90.7. Currently he is a regular on ABC music trivia program Spicks and Specks and shares the Fox FM Drive Time program with Hamish Blake. Andy also appeared on the Channel 10 program Australia's Brainiest Comedian, becoming the first person ever to not answer any questions correctly in a round (TV), and with Hamish Blake has developed a new television program named Real Stories, which satirises other Australian news shows such as A Current Affair. This is made under the guidance of Rove McManus.

Andy also won the first series of Joker Poker, a Network Ten production which pits four comedians up against each other in a tournament game of No Limit Texas Hold 'Em Poker for charity.


He is also a founding member of popular Melbourne band Zoophyte, along with his brother Cameron Lee. Andy sings, plays guitar, djembe, didgeridoo, synth, trumpet and whatever else the occasion calls for. www.zoophyte.com

Andy released an educational times table CD in 2003 called, "The Sing Along Times Table CD Book". The CD was re-discovered in 2005/2006 after an "alert listener" informed Hamish Blake, and teased Andy about it on their radio show.

Andy is also friends with Ed Kavalee, one of the co-hosts of Triple M's Get This program. Because they are on rival radio networks, when ever Ed mentions him on air he refers to him as Mr. X

In 2006 he was named Cleo Bachelor of the year, which Hamish delights in labeling a 'glamour quest'.

He is currently dating Megan Gale

Andy now has a regular spot on Rove Live with Hamish Blake appearing every week.
