Dai Andrews began entertaining professionally in his hometown of Baltimore, Maryland at the young age of seventeen. One year later Dai would find himself on the streets of Europe where he worked at his craft, perfecting it under the most trying conditions. While in Europe Dai experienced great success. He was photographed for Time magazine, performed in a video for MTV, and performed as a part of the prestigious "Commedia del Atre".

Since his return to America, Dai has performed all over the country, predominantly at renaissance festivals, nightclubs, cruise ships and colleges. He has appeared on television and radio more than 50 times, including an internationally broadcast story on CNN, and has been the focus of many articles in newspapers and magazines. Dai has also successfully run several of his own productions, including the theatrical seance "An Experience in Spirit Theater", and a benefit show for the Maryland Food Bank.

Currently Dai performs year round for Carnival Cruise Lines, and at at other venues around the country.
