Andy Franklin Rules
In his debut comedy special, “Andy Franklin Rules”, stand-up comic Andy Franklin unpacks the chaos of modern life with sharp observation, absurd honesty, and a surprising dose of emotional depth. Filmed live at the legendary Comedy Corner Underground—a punk rock-style basement venue in Minneapolis—this hour is both raw and relentlessly funny, bouncing between deeply personal moments and razor-sharp crowd work that keeps every minute unpredictable. With the pacing and punchlines of a seasoned comic and the vulnerability of someone who’s been through it, Andy covers life after a breakup (while still living with his ex), what depression actually feels like, the strangeness of dating in your 40s, and the quiet absurdities of race, class, and identity in the South and Midwest. The material hits hard, but it never wallows—Andy’s self-deprecating charm and offbeat sensibility create a space where even the darkest stories earn the biggest laughs.
