Praise for Glenn

“Effortlessly funny with an affability that other comics can only dream of – You have to go and see Glenn Wool. ” The Guardian

"Edgy, imaginative, funny and original, Canadian born Wool sets the standards at the fringe” Daily Telegraph

“Why aren't you in a queue somewhere buying a ticket?" The Scotsman

“Seeing Glenn Wool perform should be made compulsory for the melancholy. There’s no way you won’t feel a bit better about the world afterwards. Lethally funny” ****Metro

“Absolutely hilarious” Independent

"A cleverly subversive comedian, because behind his shaggy hangdog
​looks and his apparently homespun humour lies a sharp intelligence which is slowly and quietly hitting the mark on several of the important issues of the day. Wool tackles a wide range of subjects from religious fundamentalism to current world politics and does it in such a way that you hardly notice that that is what you are listening to. Not hardcore political comedy, but maybe all the more effective for being presented in a language the average layman can understand..." Bernard Fletcher
