Andrew Hamilton
Andrew Hamilton is an Australian comedian and former convict who gained recognition for his unique blend of humor that draws from his past experiences with drug dealing and incarceration. After being arrested in 2021 for selling drugs, Hamilton served four months in two of Australia's most notorious prisons, where he began writing jokes and developing his stand-up routine. His comedy not only entertains but also serves as a form of catharsis and a way to connect with others who may have faced similar struggles. Recently, he announced a tour in New Zealand, where he plans to share his jail jokes and the lessons he learned about redemption and the power of laughter.
