Laughs Comedy Spot in Kirkland welcomes the hilarious Andy Kindler on Jan. 14-15. Kindler is known in comedy circles as a troublemaker. Originally from New York, and now complaining from California, he annoys people all over the world.

Kindler is a frequent guest and correspondent for “The Late Show” with David Letterman. Each summer at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal he delivers the State of the Industry address to a packed ballroom filled with comics and Hollywood industry types. He is infamous for his scathing attacks on the world of entertainment, including the previously taboo practice of making fun of his fellow comedians. Just as the comedy boom of the nineties was imploding, Kindler wrote the “Hack’s Handbook” for National Lampoon. This “how to” guide satirized and exposed tired comedy formulas.

Kindler was recently seen as a judge on the seventh season of NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” He is the star of two half-hour Comedy Central Presents specials and currently recurs on Disney’s “Wizards of Waverly Place” and Fox’s upcoming animation “Bob’s Burgers.”

Other noteworthy credits include the HBO “Young Comedians Special,” “Late Night with Conan O’Brian,” “The Daily Show,” “Dr. Katz Professional Therapist,” and “The Larry Sanders Show.” Kindler is often recognized for playing the life-affirming character “Andy” on the CBS sitcom, “Everybody Loves Raymond.”

Performances begin at 8:30 p.m. Jan. 13 and 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. Jan. 14-15 at Laughs Comedy Spot, 12099 124th Ave. N.E., Kirkland. Tickets are $10-$15. For information, call 425-823-6306 or visit www.laughscomedy.com.
