Woody Fu

Woody Fu is an actor and writer based in Los Angeles. He was featured as a New Face of Comedy by Just For Laughs.

You may have seen him on ABC, CBS, FX, Max, HULU, Comedy Central, Peacock, and Netflix, sharing the screen with Will Ferrell, Ryan Reynolds, Awkwafina, Roy Wood Jr, Molly Shannon, Lisa Kudrow, Amy Schumer, Jack Quaid, and Jon Heder. Coming up, you can see Woody recurring in the Amazon show “The Runarounds.”

How did he get here? Originally from New York, Woody is a veteran of the UCB Theater, where he regularly performed improv, musical improv, sketch and characters. These comedy skills took Woody around the world. From Boom Chicago in Amsterdam, where he created an original sketch revue as the company’s first Asian American actor, to Edinburgh Fringe, where he joined the smash hit institution Baby Wants Candy and the 5-Star parody “Thrones! The Musical” (he played Jon Snow).

From there, Woody set his sights on creating solo shows. “Asian Gracefully” was featured in The New York Times, and his characters show “Too Many Asians!” ran at UCB, and toured Los Angeles and Montreal. Most recently, the award-winning “Woody Fu: One-Man John Wick” enjoyed a sold-out run at Hollywood Fringe and is prepping for an upcoming tour.

Woody is passionate about creating content that speaks to the Asian American experience, and his digital shorts tackle everything from sexuality, stereotypes, and generational trauma (the fun kind) to toxicity, anime, and inter-Asian racism. They’ve been featured on Vulture, Slamdance, HuffPost and Funny Or Die, and have garnered dozens of laurels at film festivals across the country.

He is a regular contributor to the Onion and co-hosts the Emotional Slut podcast (available on Spotify and Apple).
