It's not an old piece of furniture nor is it a used baseball bat from the L.A. Dodgers. It's none other than the talkative companion of Ventriloquist Willie Brown. Woody is his name. He's a slick, fast talking hilariously funny wooden homeboy who can be seen regularly at The World Famous Comedy Store or at the Laugh Factory on Sunset.

Ventriloquist Willie Brown and his partner Woody graced Tinseltown with their presence about a year ago. When asked how long it took for them to drive across country from Washington D.C., Woody replies "Six days!" "Six days, how do you figure that Woody?" says Willie. "Well it took three days to drive from DC to the California State line, and it took three days to get from the 10 to the 405!"

Originally from New Haven, CT, Willie honed his craft as a comedian/ventriloquist in Washington, DC and began to travel abroad. He's appeared on The Best of BET ComicView, HBO DEF Comedy Jam, The Extreme Gong Show and other pilot TV programs. Willie has headlined many comedy clubs throughout the country and has worked with the likes of Steve Harvey, Martin Lawrence, and D.L. Hugley to name a few.

Willie Brown and Woody recently appeared in the movie "Love The Way," a romantic comedy which costarred Lisa Ray, Chris Spencer and other notables. Willie has also made an impact on the commercial world by booking four commercials including a national spot for American Airlines. In his hard to find spare moments Willie spends his time doing community service by performing at local schools and churches in the Los Angeles area, and writing and developing screenplays and show concepts for himself as well as his partner Woody. So if anybody ask you, just tell them "It's All Wood!"
