Acting

Guy is an actor, drag queen and composer based in London. 

Guy is Creative Director and Co-Founder of new theatre company REPRESENT dedicated to redressing the socioeconomic imbalance in the industry. He has directed and devised productions at The Roundhouse, Tristan Bates Theatre and three sell-out productions at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Guy is currently undertaking the lead role of bruised but bright Drag star, Dorín Delacroix, in Raymi Ortuste Quiroga's production of BROKEN TOYS at the Cervantes Theatre.

Throughout 2022 and 2023, Guy could be seen playing the 1st Cover for Sonny and as part of the ensemble in THE CHER SHOW for ROYO, for which he was also the resident director. Guy was integral to the glittering success of the show and received rave reviews for his performance of Sonny:

“Guy Woolf, as Cher's major love and TV sidekick Sonny, is a perfect casting choice. They hold their own with each manifestation of Cher, and there is a genuine chemistry between the couple.” – Broadway World

"A mention should also be given to Guy Woolf who stepped into the role of Sonny and who was truly incredible in the role, taking us on Cher’s romantic journey, at times we loved him, then hated him but like Cher in the end we found ourselves respecting him.” – North West End

“There’s perfectly pitched support from Guy Woolf as Sonny”  - The Scotsman

"Guy Woolf gives a versatile and truly indepth performance covering Sonny (Understudying Lucas Rush), where we see the light but very much the darkness that the corruption of showbiz presents. Guy’s relationship with Babe, Lady and Star helps show the true evolution of the couple’s turbulent relationship. Sonny goes from good guy to an unpredictable unstable man who has the stress of succeeding overtake him, this is done with such realism. Guy’s performance of ‘I’ve Got You Babe’ with Millie is a highlight of his portrayal. It sounds fantastic." - Theatre Scotland

"And stepping into the *ahem*short*ahem* shoes of Sonny Bono, Resident Director Guy Woolf puffs his chest and breaths in the role, making up for any shortcomings one may have feared." - Corr Blimey

"Ably assisting the Cher’s is Sonny (Guy Woolf), her first husband to the uninitiated, and partner in music &comedy for many years. Woolf gives a super performance, goofy, charming, but above-all, ambitious; the comic musings he shares with Lady a gentle chuckle-fest amidst the musical extravaganza." - The QR 

"Guy Woolf stepped in as Sonny Bono this evening - the man who arguably brought Cher into the public eye but was half of an incredibly fractious relationship. Woolf excelled in the role and very much made the part his own with a beautiful characterisation and a believable chamistry with all three of our diva's." - Black Country Radio

His acting credits include: TRIGONOMETRY for the BBC, 3 GUYS NAKED FROM THE WAIST DOWN (Finborough Theatre), THRILL ME (The English Theatre of Hamburg and Jermyn Street Theatre) and Romeo in ROMEO AND JULIET (Bridewell Theatre). 

He plays Electra Cute in the London based Cabaret troupe DENIM (Soho Theatre, Arts Theatre, Glastonbury with Florence Welch sponsored by Mac Cosmetics). 

His one-person show, Becoming Electra: A Queer Mitzvah, toured venues around the UK in 2019. 

"If you are feeling hopeless, helpless and, well, anything from a bit meh to utterly devastated, listen to Elektra sing Rise Like a Phoenix and your soul will be healed" The Scotsman *****

"Electra Cute's...will to power rendition" The Guardian ****

He has composed the music for Sixth Form Romeo, a new musical by Nigel Williams (Elizabeth I with Helen Mirren, The Wimbledon Trilogy, Lord of the Flies) currently in development, and GREAT AGAIN the Musical at the VAULT Festival 2018. 

He can be heard singing on the Denim single and Out of the Lens Original Cast Recording.

Guy recently starred in a commercial for Uber Eats.
