Andrew Sleighter & Tyler Boeh Comedy
Andrew Sleighter started in comedy, looking for the perfect funny line to open a biography. Since then, Andrew’s laid-back style and clever writing have earned him the appreciation of fans and the respect of his peers.
Andrew performed on Last Comic Standing, recorded a Dry Bar comedy special, and made his late-night stand-up debut on Conan. He’s also written and performed sketch comedy for Comedy Central and written and blogged for The Sports Show with Norm Macdonald. Most recently, Andrew appeared on The Late Late Show with James Corden.
Tyler Boeh’s comedy has been described as high-energy, intelligent, physical, and silly; his quick wit and award-winning “beat-boxing” talent bring audiences to hysterical heights. Tyler started his stand-up career in his hometown of Portland, OR, but after placing in the finals of comedy competitions in Seattle, San Francisco, Boston, and at the World Series of Comedy in Las Vegas, Tyler made his way to Los Angeles. Within a year of his move to Hollywood, he had established himself at the top comedy clubs, completed work on two television pilots, and his debut comedy album, “Carpool Companion,” was chosen as LaughSpin Magazine’s album of the year when it was released in 2012.
Tyler continues to perform across the country at comedy clubs, colleges, cruise ships, and theaters, bringing his incredible brand of humor wherever he goes.
