You close your curtains, hunker-down and fixate over something someone said to you in 2019.

 

 

Glenn Wool

“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
