Like you, dear reader, Woody Shticks grew up a competitive handbell ringer in a Puritan cult in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.
A comic stripper settled in Seattle, Woody Shticks has been hailed as "razor-sharp" by Seattle Star, "comedy gold" by BroadwayWorld, and "too gay to book anything but children's theatre" by his college acting teacher. Woody's headlined Intersections and the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival, collaborated with Cherdonna Shinatra and Kitten N' Lou, taught master classes at Seattle FringeCon and Intiman Theatre, and crafted sparkling solo shows like Schlong Song, Maniac, and Who Cares! A founding producer of acclaimed interarts gang The Libertinis and a prized performer with Bawdy Storytelling, New Orlean's NOLAW, and house parties everywhere, Woody gleefully harnesses the unruly power of sex to confront power and privilege with stand-up, striptease, and storytelling around the globe.
