Information About

Frank Woodley




They mostly perform comedy routines at various shows and comedy festivals, and also starred in their own TV series, '' The Adventures Of Lano And Woodley ''.

In recent years Woodley has performed his own stand-up comedy shows while remaining part of the double-act.

Recently, Frank Wood and Colin Lane released their debut album, a live recording called ''Lano and Woodley Sing Songs''. Lano and Woodley play on the notion that the CD audience can not see the action that is taking place, and have to curb their visual performance.

Frank is a talented musician, artist, comedian and acrobat. All four virtues appear in his works with guitar playing and singing in the album ''Singing Songs'', drawings on Lano and Woodley's book ''Housemeeting'', acrobatics in the TV production ''The Adventures of Lano and Woodley'', as well as comedical talents in all of the above works.


TELEVISION APPEARANCES



The Adventures of Lano and Woodley


In their T.V series, on stage and variously where ever else they perform, Woodley acts to appear stupider than Lano (or "Col" as Woodley calls him for short) and is bullied and hit frequently by Lano with blunt instruments.
In the episode "I Love You Baby" (part I), Lano explains to Woodley the definition of a non-existent word "painflier" in this way:

Lano-"The first man hits the other man painfully-" (smacks Woodley in the face) "-the first man then hits the other man again...this time more painflier." (smacks Woodley over the head with a frying pan).

Examples of stupid quotes or announcements from Woodley, demonstrating his acting low intelligence in the T.V series include:

"C'mon Col. You're making a mountain out of a... very big hill."

"Sticks and stones will break my bones, but names will... only cause permanent psychological damage."

"You're a caesarean? Really? What part of caesarea are you from?"


The Island


In 2004 - 2005 Lano and Woodley performed a comedy show tour across Australia called ''The Island''. The show comprised of comedy sketches, songs and interaction with the audience, all based around them being stranded on a desert island. A stand out feature of this performance was that there was only one major prop used: A motorised, revolving platform, which was used as a stairway, aeroplane, palm tree and court room stand.


Thank God You're Here


More recently, Frank Woodley has regularly appeared on '' Thank God You're Here '', a comedy improvisation show where the improviser walks through a door into an unknown world. Woodley seems at ease with the daunting flow of the program, and often intimidates the prepared actors themselves by taking control of the scene.
