Tony Carter, aka William Andrews, was fortunate enough to win the Tap Water Award at Edinburgh Festival in 2003 after only a few months doing stand up. Even more fortunate, and possibly to do with some serious flirting with a department editor at a party, he was named as number 62 in the lists 'hot 100' creative folk of Scotland in Jan of 2004.

Coming from a background in writing and film making and after graduating in photography from Edinburgh College of Art, his first comedy experience was as a member of a successful sketch show with BBC writer Ewan John And Perrier best newcomer award winner Garth Cruickshank which ran with four and five star reviews at the Fringe in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

He has gone on to find acclaim as a stand up in his own right and last year started working with the Comedy Unit in Glasgow (Chewing the Fat, Still Game) developing a six part series intended for television and several other smaller broadcast projects. 2004 saw Tony’s debut solo show take the Edinburgh Festival by storm.

Having had several short film roles and written and directed several pieces himself William Andrews has had diverse experience in performance and production. Oh…. And he was in Bargain Hunt as a contestant.
