Touring for two years without a home technically makes Glenn Wool a hobo. Returning from a two year break from Edinburgh, Wool brings a gritty, raw experience of comedy recounting his experiences of touring the world. From the crude to the downright ridiculous this sharp-witted comedian entertains and interacts with the audience creating humour from pretty much anything. His set starts with his experience of arriving at an Indonesian border and being wrongly accused of having cocaine on his hands, which eventually escalates into a strip search. He then pauses at the question: 'What made me smile in the moment when a lubed up finger was heading for my anus?' From this point anecdotes are told producing a possible answer to this question. These range from the hard time animals have in the animal kingdom, resulting in a twenty-minute talk about beavers, to getting too drunk for an Iron Maiden concert. The edgy quality of Wool’s humour, he announces after couple of 'ewws' from the audience following the last joke, is why he is not on McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow - and for him this is a good thing. His good-humoured nature and clever comments on his own material prevents his show from being the least bit offensive. The laid-back humour produced by this gruff Canadian comic creates a stand out performance by a veteran of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
