When your phone is suddenly flooded with messages, it’s natural to assume the worst. For comedian and TikTok star Connor Wood, this was the case when his phone blew up after Dua Lipa shared one of his tweets on Instagram. Wood admits to Page Six that he was initially terrified, thinking that someone in his family had died. But to his relief, it was just the result of being mentioned by the “Dance The Night” songstress.
Wood, who rose to fame on TikTok in 2020 under the username @fibulaa, with nearly 800,000 followers, jokingly claims that he had previously “manifested” the entire interaction with Dua Lipa. In his tweet, he expressed his desire to be included in one of the pop star’s photo dumps, and his wish unexpectedly came true. Wood humorously suggests that meeting Dua Lipa would give him powers like Spiderman, although he’s unsure of what kind of powers. Nonetheless, the encounter was a little bit life-changing for him. He admits that he started acting differently afterward, jokingly attributing it to his newfound powers.
Wood’s online encounter with Dua Lipa is just one of many celebrity interactions he has experienced since gaining fame. Notably, he recently had a FaceTime conversation with Renée Rapp, who even invited him to a party in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, Wood couldn’t attend, but he couldn’t hide his admiration for Rapp. In addition to Rapp, Wood has formed friendships with Chase Stokes and Madelyn Cline from “Outer Banks,” as well as Alexandra Daddario. He finds it hard to believe that he is rubbing shoulders with such well-known individuals, confessing that it still feels surreal to him.
Wood reveals that Hannah Berner, the former “Summer House” star turned national touring comedian, reached out to him regarding their shared rise to fame. Both started from viral social media clips and eventually transitioned to selling out theaters. This message serves as further validation of Wood’s success and the bright future that lies ahead for him.
Wood will soon be embarking on his first-ever comedy tour called “Fibs & Friends.” The tour will take him to 11 different cities across the country, where he will not only entertain audiences but also engage in conversations about life, love, and comedy with some of his closest pals and famous friends. Wood expresses his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to meet and make fun of all the beautiful faces that will come to his shows. For him, touring has always been a dream, and announcing his first 11 cities feels like a surreal accomplishment.
The “Fibs & Friends” Tour will take Wood to various cities, including Seattle, Washington; Portland, Oregon; San Francisco, California; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Brooklyn, New York; Phoenix, Arizona; Chicago, Illinois; Nashville, Tennessee; Washington, D.C.; Boston, Massachusetts; and Denver, Colorado. These stops will offer fans across the country the chance to see Wood’s comedic talents live and join him on this exciting journey.
The rise of Connor Wood as a comedian and TikTok star has been nothing short of remarkable. From a tweet being shared by Dua Lipa to forming friendships with celebrities and now embarking on his own stand-up comedy tour, Wood’s journey is a testament to the power of social media and the endless possibilities that come with it. As he continues to grow his fanbase and make people laugh, there’s no doubt that Connor Wood’s star will continue to rise.
