Jason Wood
Also known as Jason Robert Wood
Who Jason Wood is
Jason Wood was a British musical comedian from Luton whose imposing voice powered uncannily accurate impersonations of performers from Cher to Morrissey. A regular at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from his 2001 debut and a frequent headliner of comedy clubs at home and abroad, he represented England at a United Nations comedy festival in South Africa and competed on the first series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2004. He had a showman's eye for turning anything into material: when The Scotsman gave his 2006 Fringe show a one-star review, his next posters proudly quoted 'A star — The Scotsman'. He died in February 2010 at thirty-eight.
