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.

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.
