Who Is Andrew O'Neill, the "Occult Comedian"?
Updated
Andrew O'Neill is an award-winning nonbinary stand-up comedian and the author of A History of Heavy Metal, whose official site at andrewoneill.co.uk brands them the "Occult Comedian." If you're deciding whether to follow their work or buy a ticket, the site's Bio page is the place for their fuller background, while the Shows, Videos, and Shop sections cover what they're performing, what you can watch, and what you can buy or support.
What the site tells you about Andrew O'Neill
The homepage of andrewoneill.co.uk presents Andrew O'Neill as an "award-winning nonbinary stand-up comedian" and the author of A History of Heavy Metal. The site's own tagline is "Occult Comedian," which frames the persona you'll encounter across their shows and writing.
The site also carries a quote from Alan Moore describing O'Neill's comedy as "like comedy ball-lightning. Fast, electrifying and even funnier than the misfortunes of others." That's a useful signal of the style: quick, high-energy, and darkly funny rather than gentle observational comedy.
What you can do on the site
The navigation on andrewoneill.co.uk points to several distinct areas:
- Home – the landing page with the core description and quote
- Shows – where live dates are listed
- Videos – clips and recorded material
- Bio – the fuller personal and career background
- Shop – merchandise and products
- Patreon – a way to support the work directly
- Gallery – images
- ESCAPES – a separate section listed in the main navigation
- Contact – how to get in touch
If your goal is to decide whether to follow O'Neill, the Bio page gives you the background, Videos lets you sample the actual comedy, and Shows tells you whether there's a date near you.
How to use the site to make a decision
- Start with Bio if you want the full picture of O'Neill's career and identity beyond the one-line homepage description.
- Check Videos to judge the comedy style for yourself rather than relying on the Alan Moore quote alone.
- Look at Shows if you're considering attending live — this is where dates would appear.
- Visit Shop or Patreon if you've decided you want to buy something or support the work financially. Note that the site's navigation lists both, but the available material doesn't specify prices, payment methods, or whether any content is free versus paid.
