First off, if you’ve never heard of Glenn Wool, first off, we’re sorry that we couldn’t call you up and tell you about how wonderful a comedian he is. Touring the world as a comedic nomad, Wool is a one-of-a-kind experience that takes you soaring through his material that’s relatable enough for a bar crowd in Alaska (this latest recording took place at Chilkoot Charlie’s) and more than enough layers and cleverness and daring (has one of the best religion jokes we’ve heard in a while) for the comedy nerd to savor and, even more importantly, a performance rousing to the point where it’s a joy to hear Wool’s voice that’s a mix between laid-back Canadian and dramatic Shakespearean actor and a punk rock roar.

You can, and definitely should, hear all of that put on display on Wool’s latest album I’ll Ask Her, just released today, from Stand Up Records.
