Looks can be deceiving. As a heavily tattooed skinhead, Woody feels continuously obliged to assure the judgemental that he isn’t any of those words that end in ‘ist’. Sadly, things don’t always go to plan.

However, he makes no such efforts in trying to appease those who provide regular updates about abstaining from alcohol, mental health grifters, ice bath enthusiasts, men with hair plugs or those with a pathological attachment to fads.

The Sydney comedian is performing his Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut. You’ll hear plenty of feeble explanations as to why it’s taken so long for him to arrive at the spiritual home of Australian comedy. Most involve his appalling financial situation, family and pets.

If you’ve ever used social media to write a critique of or to complain about a comedian, this show won’t be for you. Sit it out.

“Has more than average number of laughs up his sleeve. Do Woodland and yourself a favour and get along.” ★★★★ – Adelaide Advertiser
