Albert was born in New Brunswick. He had studied and worked in Canada for years. He has taken his comedy show to Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom.
Shocked to hear of the passing of comedian Andrew Albert today. Only 47. We shared a fun moment at Dakodas in Kelowna when a heckler didn’t get the hint to shut up so I threatened to beat his ass. It was ridiculous but also hilarious…just like Andrew.

Albert has also been a sommelier since 2008 and hosted a series of virtual food and wine pairings during the pandemic.
Hilarious stand up and super nice guy Andrew Albert has died. We worked together and hung out many, many times. I’m stunned and sad and will miss his presence a lot. Pretty much every Canadian stand up is going to feel this and they should. This sucks.

Canadian comedy lost a family member this weekend. Andrew Albert was a hard working, hard laughing, always smiling comedian who truly loved the job and consequently was loved by comedians and audiences alike. Condolences to Andrew’s family in comedy and in life. #canadiancomedy

Andrew Albert once invited me to his place for lobster dinner in Halifax when I was on tour so I could “feel at home.” I will miss you, pal. My condolences to all of Andrew’s friends, family, and to the comedy community. One love. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/doxWevIRFm
