Josh Wolf Personal LifeBorn in Boston, Massachusetts and raised in
Amherst- Wolf had a love for comedy and making people laugh from an
early age. As a teenager, he took to the stage in the Boston area,
performing his first stand up show when he was 15 years old. By the
time he was in his mid-twenties, he was ready for a fresh start, and
moved to Seattle, Washington in hopes of expanding his comedy career.
He was able to get more stage time and practice in the comedy world,
as indie musicians were dominating Seattle’s live entertainment
scene. When he was 28, Wolf decided to make the move to Los
Angeles. After several years in Seattle he had made his mark in the
local comedy circuit, and wanted to play with the big boys of comedy.
He quickly discovered it wasn’t any easier being a small fish in a
saturated comedy pond, than a big fish in the entertainment pond of a
port city. About Josh Wolf BiographyIn 1999, Wolf got his first big
break, performing a one man show at the HBO Workspace- which landed
him a talent deal at 20th Century Fox, and a deal for his own
television series with ABC. A deal with NBC soon followed. While
testing the waters on the television front, Wolf began writing for TV,
and quickly found it was another aspect of the entertainment business
that he loved. He wrote on numerous sitcoms including “Yes, Dear,”
Will Smith’s “All of Us,” and “Cuts,” starring Shannon
Elizabeth. He soon decided he wanted to dedicate all his time to
writing, and stepped down from stand up, and appearing on camera.
In 2006 Wolf returned to television, appearing on the fourth season of
NBC’s “Last Comic Standing.” This also marked his return to
sitcoms, recurring on the hit series “My Name Is Earl” from
2006-09, and recurring and writing for “Raising Hope” in 2010-11.
Josh Wolf with his Wife Beth2009 was also a banner year for Wolf,
as he started making regular appearances on Chelsea Handler’s hit E!
television series “Chelsea Lately,” and he toured nationwide with
stand-up comedy sensation Larry the Cable Guy. Wolf also found a way
to tap into his passion for sports, and hosted two seasons of “The
College Experiment,” a comedic weekly online college sports show for
Fox Sports. In 2011 Wolf ended his touring with Larry the Cable Guy,
and committed to appearing on “Chelsea Lately” once a week, while
in conjunction writing for the show. He also became a New York Times
Bestselling Author, for his contributions to Chelsea Handler’s
bestselling book “Lies that Chelsea Hander Told Me.” In 2012,
Wolf landed a book deal with Grand Central Publishing to pen his first
book written solo, “It Takes Balls: Dating Single Moms and Other
Confessions from an Underprepared Single Dad.” Comedian Josh

and the news of the day. Wolf currently lives in the Los Angeles
area with his wife Beth. In his down time, he loves to hang out with
