Andy Huggins
Most of America knows 72-year old Andy Huggins from his standout appearance on America’s Got Talent in 2018. We all gasped a little when Howie Mandell recognized him from their days starting out together at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. All of Houston comedy looked on as one of their own took center stage on one of the nation’s largest talent competitions.
King of ONE-LINERS
I sit down and write what I’m familiar with, and age is inescapable. The best jokes, I think, come from some sort of emotional place. You know, getting old, is certainly that. I talk about my past drinking history. That’s certainly that. Women, certainly that. So, yeah, it’s inescapable, and I’d be silly to ignore it. Plus, I look every bit my age when I hit the stage. Can’t pretend it’s anything other than 73-years-old or 74 now.
Andy Huggins is a 45-year veteran of stand-up comedy. He was, along with Bill Hicks, Ron Shock and others, one of the original Texas Outlaw Comics, a group of Houston-based comedians who famously convened at Houston’s Comedy Workshop in the 1980s. Along with Huggins, the cadre included names like Ron Shock, Jimmy Pineapple, Sam Kinison and Bill Hicks. They set their own individual legacies but as a group, they helped put Houston on the comedy map.
