Josh Wolf in Jacksonville

Parenting runs through a lot of Josh Wolf's stand-up, from his special Father of the Year to the YouTube web series Family Tussle. Josh was born in Boston, grew up in Massachusetts and got into comedy at 16. A stretch in Seattle included work as a Nintendo spokesperson before he moved to Los Angeles, where a one man show at HBO Workspace got him noticed.

Writing came early. He wrote for the sitcoms All of Us and Cuts, reached the finals of NBC's Last Comic Standing in 2006 and became a regular at the round table on E!'s Chelsea Lately, writing for the show and appearing on its spinoff After Lately. In 2015 he hosted his own late night show, The Josh Wolf Show, on CMT. He also hosted Shark After Dark Live for Discovery's Shark Week in 2013.

Father of the Year (2019) was his first full length special, and his YouTube channel has become a big home for his stand-up. His book It Takes Balls came out from Grand Central Publishing in 2013, and he has co-hosted podcasts including Josh and Ross with Ross Mathews.
