TigerBelly is a no-holds-barred arena for half-truths, social no-nos, and animal behavior-featuring comedian Bobby Lee and his best friend Khalyla. In this week’s episode, comedian Andrew Schulz joins the podcast to discuss various topics including Flagrant 2, Bobby’s special issues, comedy success, and Andrew’s wedding.
Andrew Schulz is an American stand-up comedian, actor, television producer and podcaster. MTV2’s Guy Code (and its two spinoffs), the Flagrant 2 podcast, and The Brilliant Idiots podcast. Schulz’s first Netflix special, Schulz Saves America. As an actor, he has appeared in IFC’s Benders and the Amazon original series Sneaky Pete.
Schulz was raised in East Village in Lower Manhattan and attended New York City Public Schools: Lillie Devereaux Blake Primary School and Robert F. Wagner Middle School in the Upper East Side neighborhood, and Baruch College Campus High School in Kips Bay.
Schulz attended the University of California, Santa Barbara in Isla Vista, Santa Barbara County, Southern California, from which he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology.
Schulz began performing stand-up during college, and continued when he returned to New York from California in the early 2000s. He became a regular at the Comedy Village and went on to be the laughing stock of the comedy community since his career began.
In September 2017, Schulz self-released his first comedy special, 4:4:1 on YouTube. In June 2018, Schulz followed up with his debut comedy album, 5:5:1. After only one day of release, it earned the top ranking on iTunes’ comedy album charts; within its first week, the album ranked number-one on Apple Music, Google Play, and Amazon; and, for the week of June 23, 2018, the album was number one on the Billboard comedy album charts. In 2021, Schulz issued a pair of streaming EPs, ‘Views from the Cis’ and ‘Brilliant Idiot,’ through 800 Pound Gorilla Records.
