Act Profile
Andy Davey - Caricaturist
Andy
Davey was born in London.
His dark years as a research chemist remain
obscure, but after winning a cartoon
competition in 1994, called "Back to Basics"
with the heinously difficult brief of poking
fun at the then Prime Minister John Major,
he emerged into the sunlit world of
cartoons.
Since then Andy's cartoon artwork has been
published in many UK and European newspapers
and magazines - The Guardian, The Times, The
Independent on Sunday, The Sunday Telegraph,
The Scotsman, Private Eye, Punch, The
Spectator, Prospect, Squib, E! Sharp and The
New Statesman. He also worked on the
satirical TV cartoon series 2DTV and has
made several appearances on Sky News, to
provide pictorial comment drawn live, to
cover important political events.
Andy works hard to promote the importance
and value of cartoons, and is president of
newly formed Professional Cartoonist's
Organisation which is committed to raising
the profile of this overlooked art form and
its exponents.
Though working primarily as a
cartoonist, Andy can on occasion, be coerced
out of his studio in Cambridge, for some
on-the-spot work. He is widely considered by
his peers, to be one of the very best
caricaturists working in the UK today.
By definition, caricature
(- an exaggerated or distorted
likeness, exposed for laughter and
merriment), makes perfect
entertainment for parties, wedding
receptions and corporate events. The
amusement of seeing friends, family or work
colleagues lampooned this way, provides a
great icebreaker. It is not about giving
everyone a nice picture to go home with and
the faint hearted may prefer to hide in the
toilets until Andy has moved on! Each head
and shoulders caricature is drawn in black
ink with tonal grey washes, on heavy A4
white paper and is presented with an A4
envelope.

requirements. The Edge listens to what the client
wants and then teams them up with the best possible

Fun Day for the family or /and work colleagues.

out of hours or at weekends, for a free site

Why:- Great PR, it motivates, builds &
strengthens teams and is also great for saying

could be tax deductable (best to check with your
accountants) and most of all IT'S FUN!
When:- We recommend anytime when there's a
good chance of nice weather and no
major competing events, however, if you decide
to hold the event indoors then anytime.
How:- Call The Edge ! (0800 781 3343)

Why Should I Use An Agent ?.
. .I can find it all on the net? Is it
quality & will you have the peace of
mind when it's booked?
Do a search on the internet for live
entertainers, bands, acts, DJ's in fact any
type of entertainment and you will turn up
thousands of results. As an agency we've
received 23 submissions from acts in the
last 5 days, sadly most of it is not up to
standard and never makes it onto our books.
We know by having a look on the internet
this is not the case with some agencies and
bookers, sadly much of what they are
offering is not up to standard. All of
the vast choice we offer is quality checked
& double checked and if it is up to standard
then and only then offered to our clients.
So if quality is a requirement it is
essential you book from a quality
entertainment agency.
So that's the quality bit taken care of,
now for the peace of mind bit, booking from
a quality entertainment agency will provide
you with written / up-to-date contracts,
regulation, insurance and electrical safety
compliance issues all taken care of, and "on
call" back up 24 Hours a day, 365 days of
the year. WHERE CAN YOU FIND ALL OF THIS?
WELL WE THINK YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY! and then
there's choice, online demo's, online
feedback from past clients, free expert
consultation and even nice people on the end
of the phone when you want to chat!
