Actor, musician and art prostitute
Sandy Nelson began stand-up comedy in 1997. His knowledge of and
passion for music lead him to satirise the current music scene and
those pop stars associated with the dumbing down of populist art and
culture. He was an instant hit and has gone from strength to strength.
He has had two successful Edinburgh Fringe shows, Bedroom
Popstar and Stand-Up: The Musical. As the most omnipresent bit-part
comedy actor in Scotland,
The Reverend
Obadiah Steppenwolfe III has referred to him as the Steve Buscemi
of Scottish comedy.
Sandy is also one of the founder
members of improvised comedy troupe Dance Monkey Boy, Dance!
Sandy tries to bring a bit of culture to the proceedings, with varying
degrees of success. The Monkey Boys perform every Monday night at the
Stand in Glasgow, where the show has taken on a cult status. The
recent BBC interest could turn Sandy from bit-part comedy actor to the
big time – see him before it’s too late!
