THURSDAY 9 | From the sagely political to the gleefully silly, Vancouver-born stand-up Glenn Wool can be introduced in no finer way than follows: “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.” So sayeth the UK’s Independent on Sunday of the man who has appeared on several British comedy shows, including Never Mind The Buzzcocks and 28 Acts in 28 Minutes, and tonight makes his second appearance at the Comedy Club Cambodia (tickets: $5). Introduced by local stand-up Scotty Muldoon, of the PP Punchliners, Wool tackles everything from Franz Ferdinand to the Pope’s contribution to cryogenics and last year released an album with Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle.
