After beginning his comedy career in his hometown of Vancouver, Glenn moved to London in 1998 and quickly became one of the rising stars of the London comedy circuit. He was nominated as Best International Stand Up at the New Zealand Comedy Awards in 2003 and headlined the Stavinger Comedy Festival in 2004. In 2005, Glenn's live show 'You Don't Go To Hell For Eating Elephants' debuted at the prestigious Melbourne Comedy Festival and sold out the Edinburgh Festival. In May 2005 Glenn wrote and starred in 'What's The Story?', broadcast on Channel 4 as part of the 'Comedy Lab.' Since then, Glenn has appeared on numerous BBC television shows including The BBC Stand Up Show, Edinburgh Comedy, Elvis Has Left The Building, Live Floor Show , Comedy Cuts (ITV), and Political Animal. In 2009, Glenn made his US television debut on Comedy Central's Live at Gotham and signed with CAA. After his appearance at 2010's Sydney Comedy Festival, he was awarded the 2010 Time Out Sydney Comedy Award for Best of the Fest. His album Let Your Hands Go! is available through Stand Up! Records in stores and on iTunes.
If there was any justice in this god-forsaken comedy world, Glenn Wool would be much better known than he is.

The List
His delivery is faultless: perfectly expressive, precision timed and undulating highs and lows. A brilliantly put together routine.
Chortle
Going to see Glenn Wool perform should probably be made compulsory for the melancholy. There’s no way you won’t feel a bit better about the world afterwards.
