Andrew Ernest Mogford (born 23 February 1957) is a British comedian, performer, and writer. He is best known for his many years of work in pantomime.
Ford has performed in major theatres across the United Kingdom for over three decades. He has become particularly synonymous with the Bristol Hippodrome, where he has headlined more than a dozen productions. His stage career is characterised by collaborations with international and national stars, such as Henry Winkler, David Hasselhoff, Barbara Windsor and Steve McFadden.
He maintains close friendships with several co-stars, including Steve McFadden, Joe Pasquale, and Kara Tointon. His most notable professional admirer was the late Barbara Windsor. During her 2010 return to pantomime in Dick Whittington at the Bristol Hippodrome, Windsor was such a fan of Ford's work that she reportedly stipulated in her contract that he must be included in the cast.
