His sold out show during the 2012 Edinburgh Fringe ‘An Audience With The King’, garnered five star reviews and prompted Joanna Alpern of Broadway Baby to compose the phrase ‘Endearing, hilariously caricatured impressions and accents. Comedy at its most sincere and civilised!’ Kings quick fire one liners coupled with incisive observations have been ingeniously melded with ‘on the nail’ mimicry of accents. Andre presents a style of comedy that is intentionally free of cursing and operates seamlessly without the need to degenerate into the more base topics so many comedians have built a career upon. This has proved to be a formula for success overseas and one he has brought home to introduce to the greater New Zealand public.

Andre is currently engaged in New Zealand as the voice of many commercial ventures including; Georgie pie, Vodafone, and Volkswagon, is the HOD for Comedy with the film production company; Mt. Barker Entertainment Ltd and has a number of his own scripts for TV & Film in development.
