Heywood "Woody" Allen (born Allan Stewart Konigsberg; December 1, 1935) is an American director,
writer, actor, and comedian whose career spans more than six decades. He began his career as a
comedy writer in the 1950s, writing jokes and scripts for television and publishing several books of short
humor pieces. In the early 1960s, Allen began performing as a stand-up comedian, emphasizing
monologues rather than traditional jokes. As a comedian, he developed the persona of an insecure,
intellectual, fretful nebbish, which he maintains is quite different from his real-life personality.[1] In
2004, Comedy Central ranked Allen fourth on a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians,[2][3] while
a UK survey ranked Allen as the third-greatest comedian.
