Who is Michelle Wolf?

Michelle Wolf (born June 21, 1985) is an American comedian, writer, producer and television host from Hershey, Pennsylvania. A kinesiology graduate of the College of William & Mary (2007), she worked at Bear Stearns and JPMorgan Chase before taking improv classes at UCB and the PIT, which led her to stand-up. She debuted on Late Night with Seth Meyers in July 2014, later becoming a writer there, joined The Daily Show with Trevor Noah as a contributor in 2016, and is a regular at New York’s Comedy Cellar. Her HBO special Nice Lady premiered on December 2, 2017. On April 28, 2018, she was the featured entertainer at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, a much-debated 19-minute roast. She hosted Netflix’s The Break with Michelle Wolf (2018), released Joke Show on Netflix in December 2019, appeared in Bill Burr Presents: Friends Who Kill (2022) and released the three-part It’s Great to Be Here in September 2023. She guest-hosted The Daily Show in November 2023, hosts the podcast Thought Box, and lives in London.

More on Michelle

• Official site: michelleisawolf.com
• Punchup tour listing

How we check: a run shows as confirmed only when two independent sources agree on it (for example the club’s own calendar plus a ticketing listing, or Michelle naming the dates on a podcast). Everything else stays unverified until a second source turns up. Roles appear only when a source states them. Know a date or an opener we missed? Use the form below.
