A stand-up comedian, podcaster, producer, and actor, Andrew Santino is one of the hardest-working entertainers in contemporary show business. Often juggling multiple projects at once (he's appeared in I'm Dying Up Here, NBC's "This Is Us" and FXX's "Dave"), Santino is immediately recognizable for his observational comedy and shock of red hair.
Born in River North, Chicago, in 1983, Santino was raised by a single mother and lived in Section 8 housing. After attending Arizona State University, one of his first TV appearances was in 2012 on MTV's "Punk'd" reboot, where he was a writer and acted in a number of celebrity pranks. Over the next few years, he made appearances on "The Office," "Arrested Development," "Family Tree," "Mixology," "Sin City Saints," "American Dad," "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Adam Devine's House Party," "Conan," The Disaster Artist, and more.
Toward the end of 2015, Santino released a comedy album Say No More. That same year, he did "The Half Hour" on Comedy Central. In 2017, he released the comedy special Andrew Santino: Home Field Advantage on Showtime, which was also released as an album.
Santino's biggest break arguably came in 2017 when he played the role of Bill Hobbs in the comedy-drama I'm Dying Up Here. Santino is also well known for his role on the FXX comedy "Dave," which was famously co-created by rapper/comedian Lil Dicky. Santino plays Mike, Dave's roommate and eventual manager.
A prolific podcaster, Santino currently produces and hosts the podcast "Whiskey Ginger," where he interviews friends in the entertainment industry over whiskey. In 2020, Santino began co-hosting a podcast called "Bad Friends" with fellow comedian Bobby Lee.
Opening up about his philosophy as a working comedian, Santino told Vulture in 2016: "I think the fundamental issue with comedians is everyone wants to be a famous comedian. That's a really difficult thing to achieve in comedy. Ask people on the street and there's probably only three famous comedians they can name, unless they're comedy fans. To be famous in comedy is unbearably difficult. But I don't care what people know me for as long as they know me for work that I'm proud of. I love acting. I love television and film. I hope to do that for the rest of my life. I also hope to do standup for the rest of my life. I'm making a living doing both and I'm so fortunate and grateful to be able to do that."

Fantastic show Andrew Santino was hilarious but the seating was garbage it just chairs practically stacked on top of each other
He deserves a better space for the show. Headliner and opener were great! The small temporary seating was almost unbearable in the Egyptian Room. Should have been booked downstairs in the main theatre.
Andrew was awesome live. The show was a great time. Love the Wilbur Theatre. The opening act was great but can't remember his name. All around good time.
Prefomeres were phenomenal. I cant say the same for the fans at our table very loud and annoying.
He was absolutely hilarious, my wife and I loved the show
Locker room smell that would not let out ... stinky carpet maybe ? People would not SHUT UP.... During the entire show! Just incredible lack of theater etiquette. You couldn't hear the artist as a result AND Andrew Santino (and his starter) seemed not only annoyed at this, but it got to them ... to the point where the show just derailed completely, becoming a chat with the audience. We had Table service which sounded terrific! If it didnt take half a show to deliver a drink ... and another half to close out. Dont think the ventilation HVAC was on ... which worsen the smell. And uncomfortably hot ... We almost left early ... like 15 min early. I decided to stick around thinking comedians always leave the best for last. NOPE, he just chatted with the audience until the end .. nothing else came out of it ... thanked the audience and bounced. SMH Something def. didnt go as planned on that show .. you could tell he was so annoyed at the talking crowd that his act got affected... Just disappointing ... 200 bucks for a couple .. plus 50 bucks parking ..SMH
Good time was had by all, he was very funny 95% of the time but several times went over the line in raunchy and you could tell the crowd cringed a few time. Ti e it down a little pal
Great, show from Cheeto Santino. He was equally funny with the material he came with and with the off the cuff interactions with the crowd. Would see him again anytime.
Andrew knocked it out of the park. My friends and I came to Boston to celebrate the new year and we got to see Andrew on Friday night. My friends and I were a bit late so we missed a portion of the opening act, but the tail end of it was phenomenal! As for Andrew, the show was amazing, he was firing off so many gems and my friends spent the remainder of our time in Boston quoting his lines and laughing over and over again. So well worth it! Highly recommend hitting up one of his shows.
Seeing Santino in person was awesome! He had some killer material, had some great local jokes, and did awesome crowd work!
