Andy Kindler

Andy Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, then complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world.

Each summer at the Just for Laughs Festival in Montreal, Kindler delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment and his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the 90s was imploding, Kindler wrote "The Hack's Handbook" for National Lampoon, a how-to guide satirizing and exposing tired comedy formulas.

Kindler is a frequent guest and correspondent for "The Late Show With David Letterman." His other noteworthy credits include Comedy Central Presents, the HBO "Young Comedians Special," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, "Home Movies" and "The Larry Sanders Show." He is often recognized for playing the life affirming character, Andy, on the CBS sitcom, "Everybody Loves Raymond."
