Clover
New book: A Wild Call
Coming soon...
In 2023 Andrew Clover (writer / performer /Comedy Awards Nominee) sailed the Atlantic to find ruined rainforest to rewild. He also nearly drowned, got lost in jungle, but found his way to an ancient Lost City and a moment that changed his life. It inspired A Wild Call , a forthcoming book, and his wildly popular tree meditations. (You can try this one, to boost creativity, which has a gorgeous singer, Sarah Lambert - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj1bbI3q7Hk
Andrew did his first live meditation at the Organic Growers Gathering, which got a standing ovation. He got 3 more bookings - including one in Switzerland to Unicef delegates. You get a taste of the fun from this clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5r32n8id8aw )

In the past, he's been best known for...
Many acting roles – eg being The Clown in Ashes to Ashes
Being a regular presenter on GMTV and Radio 4’s Storyman (‘best radio for ages’ -Radio Times)
Dad Rules - Sunday Times column, Penguin book (Amazon Number 1 for new humour) (‘I love love loved it, a wild and irreverent adventure’, News of the World)
7 Edinburgh shows - eg A Man of Substance in a World of Filth (‘I’ll never forget the irresistible madness of Andrew Clover’s shows’ Kate Copstick’s highlights of 30 years of the Fringe)
He does TED Talks / performance coaching for clients eg Michele Thew Cruelty Free Int.
For business clients, he helps them to refine and tell their stories. He has devised a new
form of coaching, which works through nine areas of safety and confidence, with each one
based on a different chakra, and different tree. One of his clients just completed this, and
has launched a multi-million dollar fund, empowering female sport.
His best live work, though, is performing The 7 Secrets of Storytelling in schools, where he entertains children with surprisingly good mime, then gets them to devise their own stories.
Excerpts
I meet a beast at a stream (Prologue)
Now that the whole trip’s done – the storm-tossed Atlantic crossing; the week
groaning on that foul floor in Haiti; the moments of pain, the moments too of real
joy – it seems obvious: I started out trying to find a way to save the planet; I ended
up learning how to be happy, how to cope. Example…
The time I hugged Mike Tyson (and he sent me on a quest)
Not long afterwards, because I played the scary clown in the TV show Ashes to Ashes, I
was invited to the Earl’s Court Fan Convention.
Lost in the Jungle
Jaguar Plantation. March 2023. I approached Jose in the garden, and inquired
which way I should go to get to Minca. The news was good.
‘You just go down the hill,’ he said, ‘you go left, you follow the river, and, in maybe
four, five hours, you reach Minca.’
So I set off.
