About The Artist 
With a manic, Silly Putty voice, astonishing mouth noises, and heart-filled stories, Andy Offutt Irwin is equal parts mischievous schoolboy and the Marx Brothers, peppered with a touch of the Southern balladeer. Irwin is a keynote speaker, theater director, songwriter, comedian, newspaper columnist, and Shakespearian actor. His appearances have taken him across the U.S., including the Library of Congress and Walt Disney World. He is the recipient of numerous awards, including the NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence and a Special Congressional Recognition from Rep. John Lewis for “outstanding and invaluable service to the community.”
Andy lives in Covington, Georgia.  He thinks he is funny.

Kevin Kling, playwright, Emmy-winning storyteller, and regular commentator for NPR’s All Things Considered, recalled his first encounter with Andy’s work like this: 

“Andy took me on a journey…full of heart and gut-busting humor all wrapped in a hauntingly beautiful story. What separated him from any other teller was his characters. I have had the joy to share the stage with Andy. An incredibly giving soul, he wants everyone around him to do well. Then he humbly takes the stage and blows the lid off the joint. For all his audacity, he has a giant, giant heart.” 

Free the Imprisoned Lightning  ~  This story is a patriotic tale of German Jewish immigrant Leopold Mendelssohn, who as a young man in the early twentieth century, buys a Model-T truck, tricks it out to live in, and begins his journey from the Lower East Side of Manhattan to the Deep South, which will become his adopted Home.
