"Andy Offutt Irwin" (born 1957) is an United States/American Storytelling/storyteller, Art education/arts educator, singer-songwriter and humorist. Born and raised in Covington, Georgia, a small town outside of Atlanta, Irwin began his career in 1984 with an Improvisational theatre/improvisational comedy troupe at Walt Disney World Resort/Walt Disney World. After five years he shifted to performing as a singer-songwriter, touring the Southeastern United States/Southeast. In the mid-1990s, Irwin branched into performances for children and since then has appeared in hundreds of schools (from preschool education/preschools to university/colleges) and countless public library/public libraries.
Irwin continued to perform as a singer-songwriter and added storytelling to these performances, usually telling one story (about ten to twenty-five minutes in length) during a show. In the fall of 2004 he decided to pursue storytelling as a career and quickly achieved national prominence. Irwin now appears regularly in storytelling festivals across the United States. He has released several albums which feature stories, songs or whistling and has collected numerous awards for these albums. In 2013, Irwin received the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Storytelling Network.
