About

“She’s just funny. She’s clever and cool and very human.”

– The Herald

Alysia Wood is one of the bright new faces to come out of the strong Seattle comedy scene. She jokes about so many “issues” that a therapist once handed her a business card during one of her shows.

She was nominated by Campus Activities Magazine for their Reader’s Choice Awards in the comedy category for “Best Performer – Female Artist”.

Her debut CD with Stand Up! Records, Princess, was well received. Virgin Airlines selected it for in-flight entertainment and the Serious Comedy Site named it one of 2012’s “Top 10 Stand-up Comedy MP3 albums and CDs”. Her sophomore album is in the works.

Wood is also a contributing writer for internet columns and frequent guest on many podcasts.

She can be scene in the documentary, “I Am Road Comic” and made frequent appearances on NBC Seattle television shows “Up Late NW″, “New Day NW” and “[the 206]” before relocating to Minneapolis to work on multiple projects.

“I love it when Alysia comes back to Seattle–she brings a little edge back to the Kingdom of Polite and always manages to have something surprising and very funny to say.”
