The Origin Story
Andrew Santino is a stand-up comedian, actor, and podcast host who has become one of the most recognizable comedians in golf, thanks to a real love of the game and a show built around it.
Chicago Roots
Santino was born in Chicago and grew up in the city's River North neighborhood. He graduated from Naperville North High School in 2002, attended Arizona State University, and started doing stand-up in 2006.
Stand-Up to the Screen
His breakthrough on screen came as a series regular on Showtime's I'm Dying Up Here, followed by a starring role as Mike, Lil Dicky's roommate and manager, on FX's Dave. Along the way he launched Whiskey Ginger, an interview show where friends in entertainment talk about their pasts, and in 2020 started the hit podcast Bad Friends with Bobby Lee.
A Comedian Who Can Play
Santino is a genuine golfer, not a celebrity who just shows up for the pro-am. His love of the game turned into No Bad Lies, a YouTube golf series that pairs rounds with his trademark interviews and banter.
