Connor Wood (born Connor Masich), also known online as Fibula, is an American stand-up comedian and podcaster.[1][2] He gained a following on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic with comedic videos about unemployment and everyday life,[3] and has since transitioned to live stand-up, selling out over 100 shows on his Fibs & Friends national tour.[4] He co-hosts Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast with Brooke Averick, which was named Best Comedy Podcast of 2024 by Adweek.[4]
Early life and education
Wood grew up in Austin, Texas, in a military family and moved frequently during childhood.[5] He attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he studied advertising.[6] After graduating, he moved to Los Angeles and worked in marketing for the dating app Bumble and the scooter company Bird.[2][6][7]
Career
Social media beginnings
After being laid off at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Wood began posting comedic videos on TikTok about his experiences with unemployment and everyday life.[3][7] His relatable, off-the-cuff style attracted a predominantly female audience, a dynamic he has described as unintentional.[7] He has amassed over 900,000 followers on TikTok.[1]
Podcast
In January 2022, Wood and fellow content creator Brooke Averick launched Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast, distributed through TMG Studios, the podcast network founded by Cody Ko and Noel Miller.[6][3] The podcast, in which the co-hosts discuss pop culture and share personal anecdotes, reached number one on Spotify's comedy podcast chart.[4] Adweek named it Best Comedy Podcast of 2024,[4] and Variety included Wood and Averick in its 2025 Comedy Impact Report.[8]
Stand-up comedy
Wood began performing live stand-up in 2023 with a show called Fibs & Friends.[5] He was named a Comic to Watch at the 2023 New York Comedy Festival, where he performed sold-out shows at the Gramercy Theatre.[3][4] In December 2023, he announced his first nationwide Fibs & Friends tour, initially covering 11 cities beginning in February 2024.[3] The tour sold out over 70 shows during its first year, including dates in London and Dublin.[5]
In July 2025, Deadline reported that Wood had sold 34,500 tickets across 103 shows and was extending the tour with dates in 12 additional cities through 2026.[4] His comedy focuses on observational humor about dating, city life, and navigating his late twenties, blending prepared material with crowd work.[4][9]
