Starting his career at the age of 16 as a journalist, Andy is best known for co-founding the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal with Gilbert Rozon, and turning it into the world’s largest and most prestigious event of its kind.
At Just For Laughs, Nulman produced over 150 Festival TV shows, in a host of languages around the world. In 1997, he wrote, produced and even hosted The Worst of Just For Laughs for CBC and won a Gemini Award in 1993 for The Best of Just For Laughs. He is still working on The Average of Just For Laughs.
Following his success with Just For Laughs, in 1999 he went on to co-found mobile media pioneer Airborne Entertainment with Garner Bornstein, which he eventually sold for enough money to be able to hire people to write bios such as this one.
In 2010, he rejoined Just For Laughs as President, Festivals and Television until he left once again to embark on more world-changing digital ventures, including his most recent, the predictive gaming platform Play the Future. He’s also written three books, and is renowned as a risk-taking, trouble-making public speaker. Andy possesses a unique skill set of media, management and marketing expertise over a career spanning more than four decades. And that’s nothing to laugh at. Unless he slips on a banana peel…then you can crack up.
