If you’ve ever been to Boston, or, frankly, any city in Massachusetts, you’re probably aware that certain folks there can be a little, well, crappy. Sarcastic. Jerky. Confrontational. There’s a term for these characters: Massholes. Comedian Josh Wolf is a Masshole, and damn proud of it. He and his comic buddies/fellow Mass men Bruce Fine and Dan Smith have even dubbed themselves the Massholes. Since he left his hometown of Amherst (a town not as Massholish as, say, Worcester), Wolf has worked the comedy club scene, developed some network sitcoms and worked as a staff writer on Yes, Dear, All of Us and Cuts. Now Wolf, sans Fine and Smith, is on the road, and he stops by the Laff Stop today. You’d expect a guy who wrote for Yes, Dear, to riff on married life, and Wolf doesn’t disappoint. As the young father of three points out: “Marriage doesn’t ruin sex…it’s those fuckin’ kids.” Meet the Masshole today at 8:30 p.m.
July 5-6, 8:30 p.m.; Fri., July 7, 8 & 10:30 p.m.; Sun., July 9, 8:30 p.m.
