2022 Edinburgh Fringe
Ali Woods: Best Friend Ever
Highly anticipated debut stand-up hour from the Hackney Empire New Comedian of the Year Winner, tackling all the big topics; Scottish mothers, sex parties, karate teachers, and mental breakdowns. During lockdown Ali was disappointed to discover he's a terrible friend. This is the hilarious and heartfelt story of how he tried to become more helpful and less... him. As heard on BBC Radio 4 and featured on LadBible and Buzzfeed UK, Ali has written for BBC Three and supported Russell Kane on tour. 'In a world of wannabes, Woods is the real deal' (Evening Standard).
