His show "My Anus Horribilis," its name a play on the Queen's 1992 "Annus Horribilis" Christmas message, was about how "[The Christian right is] pushing the country backwards, and I wanted to point that out. It’s insane when they’re quoting Leviticus to outlaw gay sex, yet most people, who have never read the Bible, won’t know that book also threatens punishment for people who wear shirts of mixed fibre." His Fringe show in 2006 attracted a damning one-star review by The Scotsman newspaper. He referred to this on subsequent posters, quoting, "A star – The Scotsman". Wood lived with his dog Jim in a cottage in Sundon, Bedfordshire, where he died on 20 February 2010 aged 38. Initial reports suggested he died in his sleep. He was survived by his father Brian, mother, and sister Ann.
