Andy Day is a BAFTA-nominated presenter and actor. He is best known for his work on CBeebies, where he has presented various shows and on-screen presentation since 2007.
Andy has fronted his own BAFTA-nominated series for CBeebies, Andy's Wild Adventures as well as Andy's Dinosaur Adventures, Andy's Prehistoric Adventures, Andy's Safari Adventures, Andy's Aquatic Adventures and most recently Andy's Global Adventures. These series have all been a massive hit with kids and parents alike and he also fronted Andy's Secret Hideout and Andy's Baby Animals.
Andy starred in CBeebies' enchanting productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream and Romeo & Juliet and is well known for his work on Get Set Go and Big Fun Time. He also filmed the Nuzzle and Scratch cinema trails, aired throughout the UK and has starred in four UK arena tours for CBeebies Live. Andy is in huge demand for voice-overs and also writes comedy links for the channel.
Andy especially enjoys the Christmas period as it means pantomime time! He has appeared for many years in CBeebies' annual televised pantomime, playing colourful roles in A Christmas Carol, Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, Thumbelina, Hansel & Gretel, Jack In The Beanstalk and The Nutcracker.
Outside of CBeebies, he has played The Genie in Aladdin at the Kenneth Moor Theatre, an ugly sister in Cinderella at The Octagon in Yeovil and Bedworth, Dandini in Cinderella at The Alban Arena and Captain Crabstick in Dick Whittingon at the Sheffield Lyceum. He lit up the stage at the Bristol Hippodrome as Muddles in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, followed by playing Billy Goose in Mother Goose in Sheffield and Buttons in Sleeping Beauty in St Albans. He played Jangles in Sleeping Beauty in 2023 at the Hawth Theatre Crawley.
When not presenting for CBeebies, Andy also stars in his own fantastic family show, Andy's Dino Raps, which is full of interactive fun and catchy raps about everyone's favourite dinosaurs.
‘Andy and the Odd Socks’ launched at Glastonbury in 2017, and have played many festivals and their own theatre tours around the country since then and released 3 studio albums; quite simply the most exciting thing in children's live entertainment. They are patrons of the Anti Bullying Alliance and spearhead the national Anti Bullying Week each year in primary schools. Odd Socks Day (for Anti Bullying Week) was created as a fun and simple way to annually celebrate that everyone is different.
The latest in the line of mega successful ‘Andy’ shows for the BBC, ‘Andy and the Band’ is a modern day ‘Monkees’ and features Andy’s pop band ‘Andy and the Odd Socks’. A hit show on CBBC, CBeebies and the iPlayer, this music-based comedy drama has proved a hit from the start and currently on its fourth series.
Andy is a published author, with his first novel Dino Dad published on 9th May 2024 and a second book Dino Dad: Ice Age coming in October 2024.
