Andrea Hubert is a comedian, writer and recovering goth. Working in the UK, Ireland, and Europe for over a decade. She won the BAFTA Rocliffe Prize for comedy writing and has written for TV and radio, most recently contributing to the award-winning Radio 4 sitcom “Do Gooders,” starring Frank Skinner.
A regular at top UK comedy clubs like the Glee, The Stand, Komedia Brighton and Top Secret, her dark humour (veering on the grotesque, according to at least three audience members in St Albans) and slightly skewed view of the world are (practically) always a giddy, eclectic delight.

EDINBURGH 2016
★★★★★
"There’s something very therapeutic about the set: her brutal and exposed honesty is refreshing, for both the audience, and, it appears, for herself. Deeply cynical, sarcastic and wonderfully honest, Hubert’s hilarious account of her experience with depression is perfectly pitched and more than overdue." Broadway Baby
"Hubert takes the audience with her not only into the crevices of mental illness but soon has them finding humour in all manner of improprieties." EdFest
"She does a good line in comic bile, and the honesty on display is vivid… simultaneously funny, horrific, shocking and genuine. It's a fine balancing act from a performer with charm and skill." Fest

“Hubert delivers a refreshingly sardonic debut show, providing a whole lot of laughs against the back-drop of an important journey towards managing mental health issues.” What's On London
Other press
"It’s clear to see why she has done so well in such a short space of time. Her honest and hilariously self deprecating tales touch on subjects everyone can relate to, and the audience appreciation is evident in the warm applause at the end of her set." Mumble Comedy
“A gifted storyteller, Hubert was the highlight of the show.” Fringe Guru
“Andrea Hubert’s eccentric and dark humour has the audience in hysterics. The charisma and confidence of a natural performer.” Broadway Baby
“A keen writing skill [and] archly cynical attitude. Her slick, fluid set is rich with inventive, sarcastic gags hung round an intriguing personality." Chortle
“Slightly out of whack with the rest of the world, the all-important persona is certainly distinctive.” Chortle
“A thoroughly engaging presence with a quirkily descriptive approach to her observations. You are drawn instinctively into her world.” Chortle
"Smart, engaging and charismatic, Hubert is a hit." London Is Funny
