Stand-Up Comedian Scott Wood is being hailed as one of the funniest comics working today from fans all across the U.S., and Laff Riot Entertainment is calling him the New Rodney Dangerfield.
Known as Mr. Punchline Wood’s style of rapid fire one-liners (More than eight jokes per minute) has been keeping audiences rolling in the aisles for more than fifteen years at clubs, colleges, churches and television appearances.
A full-time comedian since 1989, Scott
was recently named Stand-Up Comedy champion after winning the Improv Comedy Club’s talent search for funniest comedian. His list of club credits
includes The Comedy Store, The Ice House, The
Laugh Factory and the Sahara Hotel in Las Vegas.
Scott has
also been a hit at corporate functions throughout the US, including
The McDonald's Corporation, Disney, Xerox,
Toyota, Price Waterhouse, Century 21,
Home Depot and the Salvation Army. Scott has
also opened for musical artists Blood, Sweat & Tears,
Beatlemania, Tower of Power and country music
sensations Brooks & Dunn.
Scott's
many television credits include ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, A&E,
Comedy Central, The Family Channel and two national commercial
appearances.
Scott is
an accomplished impressionist with over 300 celebrity and animated
voices in his repertoire, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, George
W. Bush, John Travolta, The Simpsons and Sylvester Stallone,
as well as singers such as Michael Bolton, Frank Sinatra, The
Backstreet Boys and many more! Scott's impressions have been heard
on KLOS, KABC, and the Rick Dees show.
“I do this for the craft.” Wood said. “I love making people laugh.” As an accomplished Stand-Up Comedian, Impressionist and comedy writer Wood plans on making people laugh for a long, long time.
"When I was a young man I had totally turned my back on God-what
a mistake. By the time I was 21, I was a full-blown alcoholic,
drug abuser and dealer. But in 1984, I gave my life over to Christ.
Then I realized my humor was a gift from God. I got down on my
knees and said, 'Lord if You can use my humor, use me,' and He
did. Thank God I'm now doing both comedy and ministry-sharing
the source of my humor, which is Christ. It is now good to know
that God is using something that I'm good at-Comedy, as a tool
to reach others, and I've learned that He can do that in anyone's
life."
"...he
is a 'full service comedian.' Scott does it all: slapstick, laugh
till you drop humor, impersonations, voices, slice-of-life commentaries,
etc. And he presents his material in a clean, professional, family-oriented
and engaging manner...
"There was never a pause or any deliberation over where he was
going next; never a flat moment when something didn't connect
with the audience. No, for 50 minutes my men's group laughed to
the point of tears. Scott's timing, delivery and facial expressions
are phenomenal.
"To top it all off, Scott is a brother in the Lord and he champions
his faith in a way that is winsome and attractive to the churched
and the unchurched alike! Wow! This guy doesn't throw around
the usual Christian clichés and phrases. He knows God's
Word! And he did one of the finest jobs I have ever witnessed
in explaining the difference God makes in a life."
- Bob,
Ventura Missionary Church
"God bless you and thanks again
for helping us witness changed lives!!!"
- Rex,
Crossroads Evangelical Church
"We were rolling on the floor.
I heard happy comments from people in our congregation for months!
I couldn't have been more pleased. Way to go!"
- Jon,
The Church at Angeles Crest
"You
made the comment that "we were a good crowd." I would submit that
that was due primarily to the fact that you are an excellent performer."
- Major Ed,
The Salvation Army
"I had asked a
friend who did not know the Lord to accompany me that night.
I believe her opinion of "church-going people" was changed that
night. She realized that Christians can be fun-loving and God-loving
at the same time. Since that night my friend has accepted Jesus
Christ into her heart."
- Jody,
Liberty Bible Church
"He
had people laughing so hard they were crying. Every age group
attended- including about ten or so seniors and a couple families
with preschoolers. Scott mentioned his faith in Christ in a natural
way at the end that wasn't pushy. His testimony in worship was
great- he has an amazing story and mentioned lots of Bible verses.
He even referred to the worship theme (which he didn't have to
do)."
