Stand-Up Comedy
"Yeah... Wolfgang it's German... thank you..."
Cynical absurdism. Dark specificity. Self-aware vulnerability.
The Comedian
Wolfgang Gohlke is a stand-up comedian whose sharp, confessional style blends cynical absurdism with dark specificity and self-aware vulnerability. With a background in sports broadcasting—covering Boston College athletics for WEEI and working at NBC29 WVIR-TV—Wolfgang brings a broadcaster's timing and a salesman's read-the-room instincts to every set.
When he's not on stage, Wolfgang runs Spinfire DJ & Trivia Services, hosting weddings and trivia nights across North Carolina. This dual life—selling radio ads by day, selling punchlines by night—gives his comedy a uniquely grounded perspective on ambition, identity, and the absurdity of American hustle culture.
Based in Wilmington, NC and relocating to Austin, TX in 2026, Wolfgang is actively booking shows across the Southeast and Texas.
Dead Crow Comedy Room (Wilmington) • Goodnights (Raleigh) • The Idiot Box (Greensboro) • Comedy Cabana (Myrtle Beach)
