Gaining an online fanbase with his viral Dark Jokes series, Woods embarked on the highly successful Make Dark Humour Great Again Tour, performing to packed crowds across the country.
Now he’s about to push the boundaries of comedy even further with his new show, Cancel Me, which sees Woods take aim at everyone and anything, with the press release stating: “This isn't just stand-up; it's a battle cry for the freedom to joke about whatever the hell he wants, no matter who gets triggered.

Dates follow at Melbourne’s Comics Lounge on Friday 24 October, Brisbane’s Old Museum on Saturday 25 October, Newcastle’s Islington Barracks Hotel on Saturday 1 November, Adelaide’s The Austral on Friday 7 November and Perth’s Royale Theatre on Saturday 8 November.

Woods promises fans Cancel Me is “even darker, bolder, and more twisted than before,” with fans urged to grab tickets asap as they are selling fast.
