Dennis Wolfberg人物介绍

Wolfberg was a schoolteacher before launching a full-time comedy career in 1979. Wolfberg attended Queens College, where he received a master\'s degree in clinical psychology.

Wolfberg began his comedy career in New York City at the Comic Strip. Although he always wanted to be a comedian, he auditioned as a singer, playing his Martin guitar.

He starred in his own half-hour comedy special on HBO in 1990.[2] He also had a recurring role as Gooshie on NBC\'s Quantum Leap, and in April 1993 Entertainment Tonight aired \"A Day in the Life of Dennis Wolfberg,\" focusing on his relentless touring schedule.[citation needed]

He headlined at comedy clubs across the country as well as working in Las Vegas and Atlantic City on a regular basis. He was twice named America\'s top male comic in votes by club-goers and owners nationwide. In 1990 he won an American Comedy Award as best male stand-up.
