Rich Vos

Rich Vos (born June 30, 1957) is an American stand-up comedian, writer and actor. From 2011 to 2024, he co-hosted the podcast My Wife Hates Me with his wife, comedian Bonnie McFarlane. Vos was raised in a Jewish family who lived in an "all black neighborhood" in New Jersey; his parents divorced when he was young and he did not graduate from high school. He became a fan of stand-up comedy from watching television as a child, citing acts featured on The Ed Sullivan Show as a big influence.

Vos began his stand-up career in 1984 and developed his act in local clubs. In 1995, he became the first white comic to perform a set on Def Comedy Jam on HBO, a show usually featuring African American comedians. In July 1999 he hosted at the Woodstock '99 festival, later calling it a highlight of his career, and in 2000 he received the Bistro Award for Outstanding Achievement as Comedy Performer. He released his first stand-up album, I'm Killing Here, in 2001, followed by the DVD Vos in 2004, and produced two half-hour specials on Comedy Central Presents. He was a frequent guest on Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn from 2002 to 2004 and on the Opie and Anthony radio show.

Vos finished third on the first season of Last Comic Standing on NBC in 2003 and was a finalist in its third season in 2004. He hosted the 2006 and 2007 editions of the Opie and Anthony's Traveling Virus Comedy Tour. In 2016, he released his fifth comedy album, V, which charted at number one on the iTunes and Billboard release charts. After struggling with crack cocaine and alcohol addiction throughout his 20s, Vos completed a one-month rehabilitation course in 1987 and has been clean since. He married comedian Bonnie McFarlane in September 2005 and resides in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey.
