 Sue Wolf began her career on Broadway... as an usher. Eventually, she tired of using the very important skill of reciting the alphabet backwards and started directing plays. After nearly being electrocuted at an East Village theatre in New York, she became a Renaissance Woman and moved to Los Angeles. First living in her car in Beverly Hills, then moving on up to an
8-dollar-a-night Hotel in the shadow of downtown, she landed a job in the casting department for Norman Lear. By night she played the alto sax at The Central on Sunset Boulevard (for those club rats out there... it's now The Viper Room)... by day she was a writer's assistant on 'All In The Family.' She got very little sleep! Ultimately, after a long and winding journey from being Peter Marshall's cue card girl on the original 'Hollywood Squares' to a critic for Variety Newspaper, Ms. Wolf landed in the arena of producing and directing stand-up comedy shows. She has worked for Comedy Central, MTV, Disney, Lifetime, CBS, ABC, TBS, UPN and has over 50 shows on HBO. She is known for the classic long-form one-comic-per-half-hour shows that broke ground back in the '80's. In addition to spearheading the acclaimed series 'One Night Stand,' she produced the first all-Black stand-up show called 'Uptown Comedy Express,' and the first all female stand-up show called 'Women of the Night.' Ms. Wolf's affinity for working with comics and actors led her to produce and/or direct specials which included Robin Williams, Billy Crystal, Ellen DeGeneres, John Larroquette, Chris Rock, Tracy Ullman, Paul Rodriguez, Martin Mull, Denis Leary, Joy Behar, Janeanne Garofalo, Sandra Bernhardt, Julia Sweeney, and Martin Short. Currently, Ms. Wolf is editing her political comedy film titled 'White Woman In America' and in her spare time, she is shooting a documentary on Nixon's Enemies List at somewhat glacial speed.
