Glenn Wool is a Canadian stand-up comedian now living in the United Kingdom. His material veers between sagely political and gleefully silly, discussing both the pop group Franz Ferdinand and the Pope's contribution to cryrogenics programmes during his time onstage. Wool starred in a self-titled show produced for Channel 4's "comedy lab" season in 2004. The show saw him attempting to exorcise a ghost from his place of residence.

Glenn Wool has turned over a new leaf. He’s quit drink and drugs, gone to marriage counselling, and started praying (to all the gods, including the atheist god). He still has the 70s porn star tash though, celebrated in a hilarious video moustache montage that kicks off the show.

Wool is an engaging comedian with a slightly rambling style which draws his audience in like confidantes. But he is ... 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 homophobia, religious fundementalism and 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.
