The Comedy Zone at Walton Art Center is excited to bring Andy Woodhull to Fayetteville on Friday, Oct. 20 at 7:30 pm.
With 12 years of stand-up comedy experience, three comedy albums, and one appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Woodhull knows how to make just about any crowd laugh. He was inspired to become a comic by his father and has said his father always joked around with him and treated him as a friend rather than a son. Woodhull and his father also used to watch the TV show “Seinfeld,” which was another source of inspiration for him. Woodhull has said that he believes Jerry Seinfeld has perfected the art of observational comedy.
“I write from my life, which doesn’t set me apart from other comedians, but I’m the only one that has lived my life so in a way it still does,” Woodhull says. His comedy is focused on relatable topics that he has life experience with like divorce, being a stepfather and family life. Woodhull has such a unique sense of humor that still connects to every parent, stepparent, spouse or divorcee.
Woodhull began his stand-up career in St. Louis, Mo., and made stops in Chicago and Los Angeles before finally settling down in Raleigh, N.C., with his wife and stepchildren. Although Woodhull is still frequently touring across the country doing comedy, he still calls Raleigh home.
Woodhull is well known for his “clean” comedy performances and comedy albums. He describes his comedy as “PG-13” rated, saying he would let his 10- and 12-year-old daughters watch some of his performances.
Call your favorite babysitter and leave the kids at home on Friday, Oct. 20 and experience Andy Woodhull’s uncanny humor at Walton Arts Center. This is the perfect parents’ night out to relax without the children and listen to jokes that any parent or spouse can relate to.
