After trialling magic mushrooms in Thailand for the first time at the age of 20, Andrew Hamilton was hooked. For many years Andrew had a monopoly on the sale of magic mushrooms across Sydney, selling the drug in capsule form was a hit among festival and partygoers. Slowly becoming overweight, with an increasing addiction for cocaine and gambling. Andrew was arrested on Friday the 4th of June in 2021 for the commercial supply of psychedelic drugs and sentenced to four months prison in two of Sydney's maximum-security correctional centres. During his time in jail, Andrew began noticing the transformative power of laughter. Upon his release, Andrew took up stand-up comedy, initially under strict bail conditions where his parents had to come with him to his initial shows, and he had to be home in time for curfew. Since then, Andrew has become a regular in Sydney comedy clubs, recently competing sold out shows at Sydney Comedy Festival, and Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Andrew's critically acclaimed debut solo show, "Jokes about the Time I Went to Prison", earned him the award for Best Newcomer in Melbourne.
