2003 Nominee for Best International Stand-Up at the New Zealand Comedy Awards, Glenn Wool has been described as sounding like a stoner and looking like something from a 70s porn flick. Vibewire.net decided to find out more:

1. In a previous life, I was... a Victorian prostitute.

2. I love the scent of... ether.

3. My comfort food is... sausages, grapes and whatever my aristocratic sugar daddy buys me.

4. Pop culture is...  culture pop.

5. My parents would kill me if I came home with...an incurable terminal illness because they are good people.

6. If you were a ghost, who would you haunt? My parents for killing me because I'm a mean person.

7. What's the most recent dream you remember having? I was having difficulty shaving in a hotel room. Seriously, that was the dream. The one you hope doesn't come true.

8. What cartoon character do you have a crush on? It's a toss up between Betty Boop and Linus' security blanket. And I mean toss up in both senses.

9. What advice would you give your younger self? Smoke more, you'll quit later.

10. What was your worst fashion mistake? My Fall collection for New York in 1997. I honestly thought that the fashion world was ready for the fusion of Viking style and haicidic Jewish robes. I was soo famously wrong.
