Tony Woods Xmas Special

Urban comedy legend returns to Melbourne for one night only, 19 December. Tony Woods, the one-of-a-kind comic who’s always in control of his audience. His playful, cool demeanor and his sharp and mischievous subject matter had The Footy Show declaring him their favorite act ever! Born in North Carolina and raised in the D.C. area, Woods kicked off his career on HBO’s Def Comedy Jam and is who David Chapelle got a lot of his comedic inspiration from. “Yeah there is some truth to that, but he is not the only one, a lot of other comedians have adapted my style, he just happens to be the richest and is the most well known…a household name. God bless them all.” Laughs Tony. Some comedians write jokes, others live them. Tony Woods is the latter. The hilarious mishaps and mix ups that happen to this top comedian contrast with his smooth, dry-witted persona to come up with a comedy style that is truly unique. His past trips to Australia, and his travel mishaps provide the basis for many of Woods’ fish out of water tales and Australians love him for it. Australian audiences connect with Tony so well as the only person more laid back than an Aussie is Tony Woods. Tony’s recent appearances Comedy Central Presents Tony Woods, Comedy Central USO Tour, and Comedy Central World Comedy Tour have made him a comic favorite of international renown. He has also appeared on Last Comic Standing, A&E’s Caroline’s Comedy Hour, Showtime At the Apollo, NBC’s Friday Night Videos, Just For Laughs, NYPD Blue, HACK, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and HBO Comedy Spot Good News Week and The Sydney Comedy Festival 2010. A regular at Montreal Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, The Edinburgh Festival, HBO US Comedy Arts Festival-Canada Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Tony ‘wows’ his audience and you would be crazy to miss this untamed beast in action!
