Glenn Wool in No Land Man

If comics were rockstars, Glenn Wool is the King. Travelling the world performing for two years, this rolling stone has gathered a hefty passport stamp collection and a raft of stories.

NZ's favourite Canadian comic brings us a night of sharp and lethally funny comedy.Behind Wool's laconic Canadian drawl hides a biting, intelligent wit and a cleverly subversive take on the world. This has earned him the reputation as one of the top comics working in the world today.

Last year he won Best of The Fest at the 2010 Sydney Comedy Festival and appeared in a number of TV shows internationally. Most notably on The John Oliver Show (Comedy Central) and The Green Room (Comedy Central / Showtime). He also touched base in NZ to appear in 7 Days between his international touring.

Wool started out on the stand-up circuit in Vancouver in 1995 before making the jump to the UK where he quickly went from rising star to one of the mainstays of the UK comedy circuit. Success in the UK has lead to an international career with shows across the world from Dubai and Hong Kong to New York and Los Angeles. Wool has become a recognisable face on UK TV in shows like Never Mind The Buzzcocks, The BBC Standup Show and The World Stands Up for Paramount. Wool also is the popular choice for comedy on the UK music festival circuit with performances at Glastonbury, Reading, Latitude and Bestival under his belt.
