Connor Wood is a comedian, podcaster, and social media personality.

He rose to fame with jokes about being unemployed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

He has amassed more than one million followers on TikTok and Instagram.

Wood and his partner Brooke Averick co-hosts a podcast, Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast .

Connor Wood is one of those rare personalities who seems to get that every comedy career, no matter how digital, is still just an ongoing pilot season .

Wood's jokes don't tend to hit like punchlines in person; they unfurl, more confessional than performative.

He's ambitious, but not insatiably so.

If Wood's life really was a TV show, the recent season would be considered monumental.

Wood's career has evolved from youthful TikTok jokester to on-stage comic.

He's showing up to open mics, focusing on his creative partnership with Averick that’s part podcast, part friendship therapy (and not at all romantic).
