With over 3,500 career performances, Andy Beningo has established himself as one of the most in demand comedians working today. Hailed for his clean and “every man” style, Andy has been named one of the 40 Best Up and Coming Comedians in the country, as well as “Best Comedian” by both the Detroit Metro Times and Detroit Hour magazine.

His first comedy album, ‘Quiet Coyote’ regularly plays on Laugh USA. His rare ability to find humor in subjects like growing up a middle child, his short-lived career as a middle school teacher and our society’s obsession with technology has made him a crowd favorite in audiences worldwide.
