Andy Ford

Now established as one of Britain's most successful live performers and a Pantomime Legend, Andy Ford started in the business at a young age — his first paid gig was shortly after his twelfth birthday. By 14 he had joined a band as singer and front man, before eventually going solo into the cabaret scene where his comedy created excited interest from showbiz agents.

Career Highlights

In 1997 Andy was featured on ITV's Big Big Talent Show hosted by Jonathan Ross. His unique performance resulted in Executive Producer Nigel Lythgoe inviting Andy to appear on The Royal Variety Show in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen and Prince Philip on their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

Des O'Connor invited Andy onto his famous couch in 1998, leading to a return spot and regular appearances on Today with Des and Mel alongside Rod Stewart, Celine Dion and Shania Twain.

In Pantomime, Andy has teamed up with Dame Barbara Windsor, David Hasselhoff, Henry Winkler, Louie Spence, Warwick Davis and Steve McFadden. He presented his stand-up show "Look It's Me!: Andy Ford" around the South West in 2018.
