Dominic Woodward

Stand-Up Comedian/Writer/Actor

From Oldham, Dominic spent 6 years working his way up the McManagement ladder at McDonalds. In 2001 he threw in the McTowel when he saw comedy as a way out of his McJob. Since then he has quickly risen to a regular performer on the professional stand-up circuit. Dom's confident and cheeky (sometimes grumpy) persona charms audiences as he paints images of the quirky people he meets. Always in demand as headliner, support and compare he performs regularly all over the UK.

He has performed live on BBC 2 and ITV and was a regular in MEN@Work The Comedy Store's topical show in Manchester.

Nominated for Best Breakthrough Act at the Northwest Comedy Awards 2004.
