Author · Andy Stanton
Andy Stanton lives in North London. He studied English at Oxford but they kicked him out. He has been a stand-up comedian, a film script reader, a cartoonist, an NHS lackey and lots of other things.
He has many interests, but best of all he likes cartoons, books and music (even jazz). One day he’d like to live in New York or Berlin or one of those places because he’s got fantasies of bohemia. His favourite expression is ‘good evening’ and his favourite word is ‘captain’. You’re a Bad Man, Mr Gum! was his first book and is the first in the eight-part Mr Gum series. He also wrote the lyrics and book for Mr Gum and the Dancing Bear – The Musical!, which premiered at the National Theatre in July 2019.
Andy hosts the podcast Ask The Nincompoops with Carrie Quinlan – tune in here.
Andy is also available for author talks, readings and events. For more information, visit his Authors Aloud page here.
