Woody Fu: One Man John Wick

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

John Wick. John Wick Chapter 2. John Wick Chapter 3. What do these movies have in common? Woody Fu has seen them. Now, he’s embodying the world’s favourite Canadian action star Keanu Reeves.

About Woody Fu: One Man John Wick

Listed Under Comedy Events / Nights Out Events

One of the most talked-about shows to hit the festivals last year is making its way to ours this summer with “Guns. Lots of guns” (well, fake ones of course), elaborate fight choreography, death-defying stunts, and a plot device called “undeveloped dead wife character.”

We are transported onto the set of John Wick Chapter 5: E Pluribus Unum where Keanu needs the audience’s help to recreate all the hallmarks of this billion-dollar franchise. Woody Fu: One-Man John Wick goes deeper into Keanu’s psychology. How do we reconcile the contradiction that he is the Nicest Guy in Hollywood, but that his movies are insanely violent? Where does his tireless work ethic come from? What are his demons, and why is Woody the one exorcising them?

With a stateside tour including Austin, Chicago and Toronto, this show sold out at both last year’s Hollywood Fringe and this year’s SF Sketchfest, with extra dates added due to demand.

Location: Assembly, The Crate, Buccleuch Place, Edinburgh. EH8 9LN

Woody is an alumnus of the internationally renowned comedy theatre Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, which has helped launch such careers as Seth Meyers, Jordan Peele and Jason Sudeikis, and he has gone on to become one of LA’s hardest working actors, appearing in numerous TV series and movies including The Other Two (Max), Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens (Comedy Central), Spirited [alongside Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell] (Apple TV+), Life And Beth (Hulu), Lucky Grandma, Companion (New Line Cinema), No Good Deed (Netflix), For Life (ABC) and Pose (FX).
