Originally from Brockville, Ontario, Andrew Johnston has quickly made a name for himself as one of the most prolific gadabouts and hottest up-&/or-comers on the Toronto comedy scene. The winner of the Toronto regionals of "The Great Canadian Laugh-Off" in its inaugural year, Andrew was added to the Yuk Yuk's roster, started touring and has spread both his signature style of comedy and murky-yet-puissant seed from burg to berg, having appeared at Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, SF Sketchfest and Toronto's JFL42 Fest. You may recognize him from his many hours spent debasing Rihanna videos as one of the stars of MuchMusic's top-rated "Video On Trial"; committing character assassination on unwitting college-aged kids on MuchMusic's "Love Court"; artfully discussing the 90's on "Entertainment Tonight Canada"; serving reincarnated-Charles Nelson Reilly-realness on The Comedy Network's "Match Game"; and as the star and creative force behind instant online hit, "The Sweater Girls". He's best known to Toronto audiences as a member of the comedy collective Laugh Sabbath and as host and producer of "Bitch Salad" - named "Best Queer Comedy Show" by Now Magazine and as seen profiled in The Advocate.
He made guest appearances on all three of the longest running North American science fiction series: "The X Files" , "Stargate SG-1" and "Smallville" .
Attended the same high school as Australian actors Adam Garcia , Hugh Jackman , Reg Livermore , Hugo Weaving , writer Stuart Beattie and radio host John Laws.
Turned down the offer to audition for the role of "Danny" in the Jackie Chan film Hung fan kui (Rumble In The Bronx).
Childhood neighbor of Hugo Johnstone-Burt.
