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!
