Laugh Along Comedy Series presents…
Justin Wood
Saturday, October 17, 2026 @ 7pm

Comedian and actor Justin Wood will return to Union County on Saturday, October 17th for a special night of stand up comedy at The Avalon Theatre in Marysville. The performance marks Wood’s first show in Union County since 2017.
Still proudly referring to himself as “Unionville Center for Life” while living in Santa Monica,
California, the Fairbanks High School alumni has built a career as a comedian, actor, and
Army veteran. Although acting has become an exciting new chapter, stand up comedy has
always been the core of Wood’s entertainment journey.

An admitted class clown who unfortunately discovered he loved making people laugh at far
too young of an age, Wood would also like to offer a sincere apology to any teacher or
Fairbanks alumni who ever had to share a classroom with him.

The hometown show comes after a successful month for Wood’s acting career. Last month,
he appeared in both the Taye Diggs thriller ”Stepfather” and the independent feature film
“Angeleno”. “Stepfather” delivered record breaking debut numbers on Tubi, becoming the
most streamed movie across all platforms during its opening weekend and the third most
streamed movie across all platforms during its opening week. The film also marked Wood’s
dramatic acting debut.

“Angeleno” went on to receive an Honorable Mention at the Dances With Films Festival in
Hollywood, where Wood showcased his comedic improv skills in a supporting role, giving
audiences a look at the range he hopes to continue bringing to both comedy and acting.

After serving a 15 month tour in Iraq with the United States Army, Wood began performing
stand up comedy at open mics at the Columbus Funny Bone before moving to Los Angeles in
2011. Since then, he has opened for Bill Burr at the historic Hollywood American Legion
Theater and the late Louie Anderson at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas. Following his
military service, he has also performed for service members through USO and Armed Forces
Entertainment shows.

After stepping away from comedy to focus on his mental health, Wood returned to the stage
in 2026 and continues to openly discuss anxiety through both comedy and public
appearances.
