(RED BANK, NJ) -- The Vogel presents comedian, actor, and writer Josh Wolf on Wednesday, December 11, 2024 at 7:00pm. Josh has become one of the most sought-after personalities in comedy today. From adding his quick-witted commentary on comedy round tables, to becoming a New York Times Bestselling Author, writing on hit television shows, and headlining stand-up comedy tours across the nation, Wolf has proved time and time again he is one of the most dynamic and multi-faceted comedians in the entertainment business.

Wolf was a regular round table guest and writer on the hit E! series, Chelsea Lately (2007), and appeared as a performer on the E! series, After Lately (2011). Wolf is also a New York Times bestselling author, and on March 19, 2013, Wolf debuted his latest book, “It Takes Balls: Dating Single Moms and Other Confessions from an Unprepared Single Dad” [Grand Central Publishing].  Funny and brutally honest, the book details Wolf’s adventures as a struggling stand-up comedian, while juggling being a single parent in Los Angeles.

Josh Wolf’s popularity continues to increase on social media, where he has 2.8 million followers on Facebook, 1.6 million followers on TikTok, 1.6 million subscribers on YouTube, and 514,000 followers on Instagram.  His comedy special “Father Of The Year” has 11.5 million views on his YouTube channel, which itself has over 250 million views showcasing hilarious clips from his stand-up shows, other comedy specials, crowd work compilations, along with skits and reality content such as the series “Family Tussle” which Wolf made with his son Jacob.

Tickets range from $29-$79 and are available for purchase online.  The Vogel is located at 99 Monmouth Street in Red Bank, New Jersey.

In addition to his work on “Chelsea Lately,” his stand-up comedy tours, and his book, Wolf also has a passion for podcasts.  Wolf began hosting his own podcast on the Toad Hop Network called “Off the Rails with Josh Wolf”.  Josh collaborated on a podcast with Sarah Colonna called “Off the Rails with Josh Wolf and Sarah Colonna.”  He also did a podcast with actor Freddie Prinze Jr. called “Prinze and The Wolf”.
