Andy Martello
a comedian who happens to juggle.
ENTERTAINER AND AUTHOR - WHO KNEW?
Andy Martello is one amazing entertainer. He began juggling at age ten & performing professionally by age fifteen, when he won his first talent contest. His first professional booking was in 1985 and it paid him a whopping $15.00...for eight hours work! Today he may not book for $15.00, but he is one of the nation's most sought after comedic performers.
In 1988 he attended Ringling Bros. Clown College & toured the world performing at theme parks, theaters, & festivals. Since then he's appeared at numerous comedy clubs & performed for major corporations such as Microsoft & Coca-Cola. You've probably seen him on NBC's "Last Comic Standing" & spinning plates on national television.
He's opened for legends like Gladys Knight & performed for President George Bush (the original, NOT the sequel!) Recently, he opened for The Honorifics at the prestigious Smith Center. In 2010 he began his career as a Las Vegas headliner and presently works as the announcer for The Price is Right
LIVE.
We almost didn’t have this great entertainer or his fabulous book. Seven years ago his home was destroyed by the Carol Stream Micro Burst, March 31, 2007. A mere second is what saved Andy and allowed us to enjoy his work as an entertainer and author. He says, “What normally would have been a devastating setback, if not an end for some people, turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me. It was the main reason why I ended up moving to Las Vegas.” Had it not been for Mother Nature and the 110-m.p.h. wind storm we would not have Andy Martello to entertain us on the stage and in print.
