Glenn Wool wins 'best of the fest' award at Sydney Comedy Festival

imageGlenn Wool has been awarded the ‘best of the fest’ award at the Sydney Comedy Festival.

The Canadian comic, who recently relocated to the U.S., was said to have peformed a ‘tightly-written show which took in everything from men in suits destroying the world to metrosexual homophobia – and his Glenn-vs-London-taxi-driver round of “I'm Not A Racist But” takes a familiar subject in gasping-for-breath hilarious new direction.’

Wool has won critical acclaim for his Edinburgh Fringe shows in recent years but has been overlooked when it came to awards.

According to comedy website Chortle, Wool said: ‘This is my first festival honour and I would like to thank Sydney for breaking my comedy award virginity. I feel like a girl putting her prom dress back on with messy hair and a story to tell her friends.

‘ I'm sure there will be other awards in the future but this one is special. Hey, it's not like we're going to get married. We're young. I don't want to be tied down to one city.

'There are going to be other towns with other journalists and judges – and let's be honest, come next year, you'll be giving this to some other comedian, so let's just enjoy what we have now and not think about the future.’
