Andrew Hamilton: The Story

Shrooms. Prison. Comedian.

Andrew Hamilton grew up in the far north shore of Sydney. He had a good upbringing, but found himself convicted for selling a large commercial quantity of magic mushrooms, LSD and the supply of MDMA. A self proclaimed 'Mushroom King', Andrew sold shrooms for over a decade before getting arrested. After doing time in prison, Andrew has found a passion in stand up comedy and is travelling around Australia making people laugh. The power of laughter which he experienced in a maximum security prison was the light-bulb moment that took Andrew from the cell to the stages.
