Ali Woods is a half-English, half-Scottish comedian, podcaster and content creator. After a second sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run in 2023, Ali is a refreshing mix of the ‘every man’ and the ‘modern man’, whose sensitivity and genuine interest in men’s mental health gives him a great perspective on the modern ‘lad’ culture which often features in his comedy. Ali is that wonderful blend of comedy with a heart, speaking on topics such as football, the environment, and many social causes close to his heart. Ali won Hackney Empire New Act of the Year 2020 and has appeared on BBC Radio 4, TalkRadio and TalkSport. His online comedy sketches under the tag @aliwoodsgigs have gained millions of views and likes, and featured on LadBible and Buzzfeed UK. In 2022, he supported Russell Kane and Axel Blake on tour. Ali sold out Leicester Square theatre earlier this year and has put his first ever comedy special on Youtube, already surpassing 15k views! In 2023, Ali appeared on Comedy Central Live which is due to be on air in the next year. "Ali Woods is a simply brilliant storyteller" 5* - Everything Theatre "In a world of wannabes, Woods is the real deal." 5* - Bruce Dessau "A new and original voice in comedy, and a much needed one given the current climate; check him out!" - Dane Baptiste
