In August 2010, he returned with his fifth Edinburgh show, entitled Andrew Lawrence: The Too Ugly For Television Tour 2010 and has now taken the show on the road for his maiden UK tour. In the autumn of 2010 Andrew appeared on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow as well as Dave's One Night Stand and in September his self-written and performed Radio 4 series, What To Do If You're Not Like Everybody Else hit the airwaves.
