With a fresh brand of humor that was universal in appeal, Andres Fernandez broke down barriers of what an audience expected from a Latino comic. Drawing from experiences with his Cuban father and his own mixed marriage to a Greek wife, Andres charms the audience with his storytelling ability.

He has performed as a member of the Copa Comedy Troupe at the Copacabana, a sketch player in "El Barrio" at Caroline's, and a legit stage actor with the Puerto Rican Repertory Theatre. Classically trained at the William Esper Studios, Andres combines his love for acting with his stand-up comedy to produce an amusing blend of hilarity and reality.

His act is receiving critical praise as well, with a recent review noting "Andres Fernandez kept the flow of laughs steady, but what truly cemented his acceptance was that the ethnic humor never invaded poor taste or the mean-spirited. Fernandez is a quality act to be sure." 1996 was a breakout year for Andres, with stand-up appearances on NBC's "Friday Night!" and Showtime's "Latino Laugh Festival" as well as the starring role in the UPN/Paramount sitcom pilot, "An American Family."
