I went to high school with this guy. Was in the same year from year 7 right through to year 12. Just stumbled across him again yesterday when KZbin algorithms suddenly put in front of me while random-scrolling. Good on you for getting out of that period of your life and succeeding, Andrew!

This video is better than most of the confessions/testimonies of people with bad past experiences. No glorifications, exaggerations or bullshit about past crimes and prison time but straight to the point, I'm really glad you got your shit together and doing really well now Andrew, oh and i love you and your buddies @yeahmadtv, keep going up Andrew, Take care.

When I first watched this video 2 months ago I was in a bad place, the way you spoke was perfect, real and just so genuine it was like you were talking directly to me and I've decided to take a different path. I fully believe you have saved my life. All I can say now is thank you, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

[@andrewhamiltoncomedy]

Oh man that honestly means the world to hear that. When you make content like this you never know if anyone will watch or whether it will resonate with people so to hear that it has helped even one person makes it all worth it. Happy to hear you’ve chosen a more positive path mate. Stay on it and you’ll thrive 🙏

Proof that we have much more control over life’s destiny than we would thing. Right on bro!

Much more positive story than I expected. Nice to hear him talk about the positive influence his parents were.

[@beepeeify]

It's interesting how mushies and MDMA are being used to treat PTSD and addiction to other substances now, yet are still very illegal in some countries. Andrew is a funny bastard and this was a really good interview to watch.

[@dobbi6083]

Yeah, the whole ban on illegal substances is like around 100 years old, a lot of drugs been used by different communities and stuff. How it's handled right now is just not appropriate. Especially the beginning when he was talking about how alcohol and slot machines are perfectly legal, while other stuff is illegal, just doesn't make sense.

[@beepeeify]

@@dobbi6083 Sugars and hidden sugars in foods are doing more long term harm than any psychedelic would do and there's no way there would ever be a ban or high tax rate imposed. It's a rort I tells ya! 😀

Thank you for sharing your experiences and thoughts. I do appreciate the fact that he acknowledged his parents support, family support, a venue that gave him a shot, friends that were there for him and a judge who understood what justice meant. Sometimes the difference between a crap life and a successful life is somebody believing in you, just one person who doesn't abandon you.

[@IllyrianTiger99]

Honestly, seeing this man from YeahMadTV and knowing him as the 'dad' of the cast in videos to actually learn what you went through to be able to change, improve himself and help others through comedy is definitely worthy of praise The biggest shocker in the story is just how it all seems incredibly absurd hearing it and how easily we are able to falter and fall through that small rabbit hole Hope I get to have cofee or tea with this legend one day to give an example to everyone to give that person who was suffering a second chance! Thank you once more Andrew and keep giggling like a madman, you've earned your peace and happiness. As Gandalf would say; Hope is kindled. Cheers mate!

Very brave of Andrew to come out and talk about his experiences.

[@JBLamp]

I watch all the Yeah Mad stuff and love it all. Andrew is a big part of that. Never in all those prison jokes did I ever expect that he was more than just genuinely funny. This video is one of the most inspirational things I have seen in a very long time. I am not a Con or someone that has been through these struggles, but the message here, at least that I took away, is that we are all in this together. We need to be better for those we care about and help others do the same. Keep us laughing Andrew, if only to keep yourself on the right path! Well done sir, well done indeed!

[@conscienciaycristales]

[@oldensloe4694]

Love your story mate. I followed practically the exact same road about 55 years ago. The vacation at the crossbar inn ended the drug era. I didn't drank until my early 40s. Was always party hardy and up for a good laugh but had fallen down a few times Too many so I put the booze away. Spent much time agonizing over what I would do when I quit drinking. To my amazement it was the beginning of my life at age 42. Don't need that stuff. None of it. The humor still is there and shall be till the day I die. Love your comedy. Keep up the good work.

[@sarthak1990]

Great to see him recover from this past experience, absolutely love his work on yeahmad!!

[@ZoniZahiRoniZahi]

This was an amazing story. I can empathize with Andrew more deeply now. He is actually a very good speaker and can bring his true self through how he expresses himself. I wish there was a backstory about more Yeahmad members because we want to know them more deeply, because how people feel about their experiences reveals more about their personality. That's why it would be really nice if more Yeahmad members agreed to do it 😊

I hope nothing but success to you big fella 🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing, and I'm really glad you got through this and came out a better person in the end. Cheers!

Love you, Andrew!❤

[@jonathanrex]

That was a very authentic and inspiring interview. Andy is a very reflected man. Whether he has been this way because of his experiences or whether he has always been this way in principle, only he knows - and that's a fine. I've already seen a few of his contributions and laughed a lot. Andy is genuinely very funny and has a great and direct sense of humour! His success is undoubtedly predestined if he stays true to his path.

[@Rickie-37]

Thanks for sharing an amazing personal story. I've been through something similar and like you, it was the love from friends that really made a world of difference. Friends from my younger days I haven't heard from in years called to check in on me regularly and share stories of why they believe in me. Eventually I found my purpose in life too. I work with vulnerable populations, a fair number of them being drug users or struggle with mental health or trauma. I have realized that providing them with unconditional love and never judging or being disappointed in them has really helped empower them to do better and move towards a more positive life. I'm so glad you have that in your life too. Keep it up, a lot of people are really proud of you. Hugs

coming from knowing u from YeahMad i 100% thought this was a comedy skit parody of similar sort of videos of people with a rough/criminal past talking about their experiences. Kinda shocked that its real, but very much appreciate that Andrew is willing to talk about this sort of stuff, i think it can really put into perspective for a lot of ppl, whether or not they have similar problems, its just really helpful to listen about how ppl can overcome stuff like this. I think a lot of us can appreciate how lucky we are, but also sympathise with the sort of feelings you describe and realise how we can’t let that sink us into oblivion and need to just move on the best we can and avoid letting those sort of addictions escalate.
