A one-man John Wick stage-show inevitably falls somewhat short of depicting the gun fu, flame-thrower fu, horse fu, car fu, book fu or pencil fu of the elaborately choreographed fight routines seen in the John Wick cinematic universe. Yet Woody Fu (yes, that’s his real name) manages to mime key moments from the John Wick story, a simple tale of a man whose wife and dog dies and who kills some 439 people in response. 

Like the Wick film-makers, Fu understands exactly how ridiculous that scenario is, and leans into it; highlights include getting the audience to do slow-motion dancing while Fu/Wick fights, and there’s also lots of fan adulation for Reeves, covering The Matrix, Bill & Ted and even less obvious choices like The Lake House. This is an aimable, charmingly lo-fi show that shows off Fu’s considerable comic and physical skills, with a free embossed pencil for audience members an appropriate reward to finish this crude but affectionate tribute on.
