Bloody good news folks! The Comedy Club Cambodia is bringing superstar stand up Glenn Wool to our shores once again. Glenn will be bringing his genius and subversive brand of humour to Show Box on Friday October 30.
Since his last stellar performance for us back in January 2014, the globetrotting Canadian has been continuing to elevate his status as one of the world’s best comics. Just this summer, he has supported Jim Jeffries at a huge open air show in London’s Hyde Park, appearing on The John Bishop Show and completing a critically acclaimed five-star Edinburgh Fringe run of his new show ‘Creator, I am but a pawn’.
The night is being brought to you by our favourite British-born, Cambodian-made beverage Bruntys cider, as well as premier bus company Giant Ibis, the exquisite House Boutique hotel, and the spectacular sandwiches of Buffalo Sister.
Tickets are the standard ridiculously low price of $5, with kick off time slated for 8:30pm.
Supporting Glenn will be Phnom Penh-based comics Tony Morewood and Keithy Howard with Sam Thomas as MC.

More yarn on Wool
Glenn began his comedy career in his hometown of Vancouver in 1995. He moved to London in 1998 and quickly became one of the rising stars of the London and international comedy circuit having performed in Australia, New Zealand, the US, South Africa, Switzerland, France, Croatia and Arabia. Glenn was nominated for Best International Stand Up at The New Zealand Comedy Awards and Best Headliner at the Chortle Awards.
In recent years, Glenn has hit the international circuit in a big way performing to huge crowds across the world. He’s also a popular addition to many of the great summer music festivals in the UK, including Reading & Leeds, Latitude, Bestival, Download and, of course, Glastonbury.
Glenn is a familiar TV face in the UK having made appearances on Russell Howards Good News, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, The BBC Stand Up Show, The Live Floor Show, 28 Acts in 28 Minutes and The Comic side of Seven Days for the BBC.
He continues to be a regular in Comedy Cuts, the comedy show from ITV2. Glenn also wrote and starred in What’s The Story? broadcast on Channel 4 as part of the Comedy Lab season.
He also records podcasts with Scottish comic Frankie Boyle entitled Freestyle.

Praise for Glenn
“If Like me, you believe that nobody could be much funnier than a cross between Jack Black and Meat Loaf, then you’ll be pleased to learn that such a man exists” The Independent on Sunday
“Effortlessly funny with an affability that other comics can only dream of – you have to go and see Glenn Wool.” The Guardian
“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
“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
