World's Greatest Step Dad
Dry Bar Comedy · 2019 · 41 min
A clean, focused stand-up set about the realities of step-parenting.
Andy Woodhull walks onto a stage where he is not allowed to swear or mention alcohol, and he immediately leans into the weird, specific domestic friction of a blended family. Instead of relying on easy, mean-spirited tropes about step-parenting, his act focuses on the low-stakes paranoia of domestic life: how to lie to your kids, being married to someone who is perpetually late, and the absurd logic of deciding which boat to save in a hypothetical hurricane. He possesses a remarkably precise, regular-guy delivery that makes the hyper-clean format feel less like a constraint and more like a natural fit for his exasperated dad energy.
Filmed in Provo, Utah, at the Dry Bar Comedy club, this special captures Woodhull at a strong point in his career. Around the time of its release, he had recently made his debut on Conan and wrapped up a half-hour special for Comedy Central. Woodhull was already a seasoned touring veteran, having been the first stand-up to make a network television debut on Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show. Here, he works the room with polished ease, turning mild-mannered topics like dealing with snakes and the daily trials of raising teenagers into highly relatable routines. The recording was distributed by Comedy Dynamics, finding a wide audience on streaming platforms where his clips regularly pull in millions of views.
