Andy Offutt Irwin as Teller-In-Residence at International Storytelling Center

With a manic, Silly Putty voice, astonishing mouth noises, heart-filled stories, and arguably the greatest whistle in the world, Andy Offutt Irwin is equal parts mischievous schoolboy and the Marx Brothers, peppered with a touch of the Southern balladeer. He has been Artist-in-Residence in Theatre at Emory University’s Oxford College since 1991 and has performed across the U.S., including at the Library of Congress and Walt Disney World. Irwin has recorded multiple award-winning CDs, and is the recipient of the NSN ORACLE Circle of Excellence award. “Irwin is charismatic and engaging, his voice full of expression, which he enhances with an array of impressions and self-generated sound effects. Listeners will find themselves instantly drawn in, grinning, and laughing along.” – AudioFile
