Award-winning comedian Rod is one of the fastest rising comics in Great Britain. He has completed a 110- night nationwide tour with Paddy 'the bouncer' McGuinness from Peter Kay's Phoenix Nights and appeared with Russell Brand at St. David's Hall, Cardiff. He was the winner of BBC's comedy competition 'Funny Business'and his material is delivered with perfect timing and his gags are as fresh as the morning papers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Award-winning comedian Rod is the son of eminent Welsh sports writer, Karl Woodward, who recently retired as the longest serving member of the National newspaper of Wales, The Western Mail. He had planned to follow his Dad and take up a career in the media but, when offered a job as a studio audience warm up man at HTV Wales, took a year out from university to pursue his childhood ambition of becoming a professional comedian. The rest is Geography!
Rod has been in big demand on the corporate circuit for many years and recent successes have gained him much wider public awareness.
Having supported Patrick McGuinness on his 110-night nationwide tour and appeared with Russell Brand at St. David'sHall, Cardiff last summer, he won the BBC's comedy competition Funny Business.
The Cardiff-born stand-up comic then performed as his alter ego Mario De Niro at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas before Joe Calzaghe's super fight with Bernard Hopkins. His song 'Delilah - the Calzaghe remix' proved a big hit with Joe's travelling army of fans.
And to celebrate Cardiff City reaching the FA Cup final, Rod wrote and performed a comedy song 'Do The Ayatollah,' backed by more than 100 Bluebirds fans. Set to the tune of the Macarena and recorded at Shabbey Road Studios, Caerphilly, it was a run-away success with more than 200,000 hits on You Tube and other internet sites. It was featured on network radio and television shows, including Soccer AM and GMTV. The CD, released by Grown Up records, has also proved hugely popular.

" Rod Woodward was excellent and finished off our evening after dinner in just the right way. A very funny man who deserves to succeed in his profession. He also had the audience in fits of laughter and topped it all by making our raffle which he conducted an absolute hoot. Thanks for all your help in making our annual gathering such a success. The choice of speakers was excellent".
