Andy Haynes

Andy Haynes is an American stand-up comedian, writer, and actor familiar to millions through his guest appearances on major talk shows such as Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan, and The Late Late Show with James Corden. Born in Seattle, he has since made the journey south to Los Angeles where he has established himself as a regular performer at the city’s world-famous Comedy Store and as a writer for emerging sitcoms.

Among Haynes’ growing list of writing credits includes creating, writing, and voicing The Champions, an animated mini-series for major sporting website The Bleacher Report that imagines the world’s Champions League stars living in a Big Brother-style house. He also wrote several episodes of Hot Takes, a 2016 animation featuring a boy who sits on a sofa and never logs off the internet. In 2017, he wrote and hosted several short videos for Stackin’, a website that explains the world of finance in a funny, relatable way. With their inventive graphics and Haynes’ deadpan comedy style, the videos were a hit with viewers.

Another educational comedy series Haynes has been part of is TruTV’s Adam Ruins Everything, a programme that aims to debunk misconceptions in American society. His other acting guest spots include Loosely Exactly Nicole, a web-series on Facebook Watch that has racked up hundreds of thousands of views. However, he can be seen most often as himself, performing stand-up on talk shows and showcase programmes such as This Week at the Comedy Cellar, Straight Up Stand-Up, and Jeff Ross Presents Roast Battle.
