He came to the gig because of the free bar, but he had a deeper plan.

His plan was to come to the comedy, have a good laugh, get wasted, and then take his own life.

That was his plan.

He came to the gig, really enjoyed the comedy.

We did an interview with me about my faith at the end.

He was moved, I think, by that, and he talked to this guy called Tony, and Tony

led him to the Lord. Within a couple of months of that, he and all of his family had been

baptized. Welcome, everybody. This is Simon Gilbo with Inspired. Great to be back for another

fantastic week. Really looking forward to this one. Listen, if you're new to us, Inspired,

is all about counteracting the relentless bombardment that we suffer in the media

in terms of just endless sort of, yeah, stuff that makes you feel depressed and cynical and

anxious and fearful. And what we need is dollops of good news by meeting people that have done beautiful stuff in all sorts of different walks of life.

And this week we have a comedian, we have Andy Kine. Welcome, Andy.

Hello, sir. Thanks for having me.

It's so good to have you. I've just been rewatching your bed has survived and having lots of chuckles and laugh out loud moments to myself.

And our paths have crossed over the years at various different places.

Most recently, we were at St. Andrew's Book Festival last year.

And actually, it was more recently when I saw on your Facebook post that you had this lovely 20 years reflection after 20 years on from your first comedy gig.

And it was beautiful. And I thought, all the more, right, let's crack on. Let's get Andy on the show.

So great to have you, mate. I don't know much about your background. Let's get straight in there.

How was childhood for you?

Childhood was amazing. I was raised in a Christian family.
