Andy Snatch

Andy Snatch has been leading an exciting life on the streets of Europe for fifteen years. Rained on in Amsterdam, scorched by the sun in Seville, in the mud and on big stages, Andy has always proved to his audiences that passion is the driving force behind looking beautiful and stupid. Yet Andy Snatch is very British, and he is a performer who can laugh at life, people, situations and most of all himself! He juggles hot and sharp objects, constantly plays with his audience's attention and breaks the laws of gravity.
