Andrea "Andy" Erikson (born February 6, 1987) is a stand-up comedian known as one of the top five finalists on the 2015 season of the TV show Last Comic Standing.[1]
In addition she is outspoken against misogyny in comedy,[2] Marfan Syndrome awareness,[3] and has worked to help the advancement of comedy clubs.
Now living in Los Angeles, Erikson and comic Amber Preston (a fellow Minnesota transplant) co-host a weekly comedy showcase, Punchline Punchout, at the Hollywood Improv; similar to a game show in format, the showcase gives comics 10 minutes to come up with punchlines on a given topic.[4]
