A Possil Boy

On Fathers Day I recall a football memory of a game I attended with my dad when we went to see Thistle play Morton in the spring of 79. A Possil Boy my dad spent a lot of time watching his local club in the days before my grandparents would allow him to go Celtic Park and he wanted to take the time to see a team who though they didn’t win too many trophies played what he called football with a…

SXSW Offering Up the Late Andy Ritchie’s Album “King Ding-a-Ling” for Free

It’s kind of beautiful to see Austin take care of his own.

Comedian Andy Ritchie unfortunately passed away last year and we all lost a great talent. While Ritchie was making his way in comedy in LA at the time, he came up in comedy first in Austin, TX. 

So, SXSW, Austin’s big annual festival that has now featured a significant comedy portion for awhile now, is honoring his memory by offering his one and only album King Ding-a-Ling for free. 

Please join in preserving Andy Ritchie’s comedy and download and listen to his album here thanks to SXSW and Stand Up! Records.

R.I.P. Andy Ritchie

Another comedian has left us all far too early. 

Yesterday, on Thanksgiving, Andy Ritchie, passed away after a long battle with brain cancer. Brendon Walsh wrote this on the GoFundMe page that has raised over $100K to pay for Andy’s medical bills (note: Brendon has asked for the donations to stop coming in):

Andy passed away this afternoon at Hollywood Presbyterian. His mom, Ruby, and his brother Simon were all with him.

I don't know what else to say. He was a great guy. Listen to his album on Spotify or download it or whatever. He's hilarious.

Thanks for everything you all did to help. Have a good Thanksgiving.

Love, Brendon

Andy was loved by many including Daniel Tosh, who boosted the fundraising campaign by giving it national attention on Tosh.0. His craftsman like jokes and his genuinely good nature made an impression on everyone he met, especially throughout the comedy community.

We were at The Happy New Year Show, earlier this week, run by some of Andy’s best friends, Chuck Watkins and Doug Mellard, who impromptu made their New Year’s themed show a wonderful tribute to Andy even though Andy hadn’t passed on at the time. 

It takes a special comedian and person for such a thing to happen at a comedy show.

So, let us remember Andy the best way we can remember any comedian by sharing his jokes with the world that didn’t get to hear them just yet.
