Andrew Menzies is a comedy writer based in Vancouver, BC.Growing up in the northern working class town of Prince George, BC, Andrew developed a keen eye for comedy at a young age. With an unwarranted habit of questioning authority, the status quo and anything that took itself too seriously, Andrew began turning his musings into words and stuff in his early teens. He was awarded a "Future Author Award" in the seventh grade, not because his short story about the kidnapping of a hockey coach's son was the best, but rather he was the only student in his age category who submitted anything. A quiet victory, but a victory nonetheless.While attending the Writing for Film and Television program at industry-lauded Vancouver Film School in 2005, Andrew met Bob Woolsey, and the two embarked and a long-term collaborative friendship. Bob and Andrew have written and produced over fifty sketches for their website, bobandandrew.com. They host a podcast that's available on iTunes, have developed a web comic, and are in production on their first webseries, oddly enough titled "Bob & Andrew". They have put on several live sketch shows in Vancouver's burgeoning comedy scene, working with and opening for many talented young comedians. With a penchant for the absurd, Andrew also enjoys dabbling in parody, satire and tales of the human condition.Andrew's short film "Forked"- shot by Morris Chapdelaine in conjunction with his attendance at VFS- was been screened in the student work category at Cannes in 2006, as well as several Canadian film festivals. His TV pilots "The Furniture Man" and "One Handed, One Hearted" have been read at the Anza Club's monthly Cold Reading series in Vancouver. Andrew (along with Bob) won Best Writing for their short "Best. Christmas. Ever." at the 2009 RainCity Laughing Stock 72 Hour Film Festival.
