Voted “Best Comedian in Washtenaw County” in 2022 and 2023 by Current Magazine, Andrew Yang is a Michigan comic who runs shows at a punk rock venue in the Blind Pig and is a founder of the Tree Town Comedy Festival. Onstage, Andrew charms audiences with his energetic personality and engrossing stories mostly at his own expense. He has been fortunate enough to work with a few of his comedy heroes including Beth Stelling, Jackie Kashian, and one time had lunch with Maria Bamford. Andrew has performed on festivals across the country including the Upper Left Comedy Festival in Seattle, Let’s Fest in Indianapolis, and the Treefort Music Festival in Boise.
He has also been featured on NPR. When he’s not on stage he’s probably on Yelp trying to decide what to eat later.
