Stand Up and Deliver is a humorous and inspirational story of Andy Kind's rookie year as a comedian. Andy Kind opens the book with an entertaining anecdote about his first ever attempt at stand up comedy. This was to be the beginning of 12 months worth of giddy highs and confidence shattering lows that only a comedy circuit can provide.

Andy Kind provides a charming narrative of the highs and lows he has experienced as a rookie comedian. Stand Up and Deliver will introduce you to the laughter, the tears, the weirdos and the overall joy of performing stand up comedy.

Ultimately, the book has more depth than simply being a rookie's diary on the comedy circuit: it is a humorous and inspirational story of a young man trying to fulfill his childhood dreams.

Andy Kind is a pioneer of the 'Clean Comedy' movement that has become a hit on the UK comedy circuit. This brand of comedy has been particularly popular amongst the Christian faith.

    'Truly laughter without truth is empty,' so pens Andy Kind in a year long stretch that is engagingly summarised here in grit and graft of the world of comedy. This is a personable and authentic story. The twelve formative months of a fledgling comedy career shoe-horned neatly into a paperback. Stand Up & Deliver is sure to be a revelation to many and a relief to others. A revelation to those that think comedians appear fully formed on television without years of toil, triumph and heartbreak. It's a 'warts and all' account of the side of stand-up comedy that few see or understand. The final third of the book, I found particularly moving and surprising in equal measure, with Kind, unafraid to tackle some of life's big questions head on. Kind is living his dream and the unique calling God has entrusted to him. Warm, compelling and full of soul!

    A very fine book - I laughed hard at the first 11 chapters, and shed a tear at the last.
