Pick almost any two of the spots from Andy's reel, and he's instantly the best comedy director working in Australia, or available to work in Australia.
Trouble is, none of those spots were written by Aussie agency creatives, and even if they were, they'd never make it past Aussie suits, strategist/planners, ECDs, and clients to ever be seen on air.
It's not the UK Andy, but welcome anyway.
