Richard Ira Vos (born June 30, 1957) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, and radio and podcast host with his wife, comedian Bonnie McFarlane.
Vos grew up in Plainfield, New Jersey "in an all black neighborhood", and was raised Jewish. His parents divorced when he was young, and he did not graduate from high school. A fan of stand-up comedy since he was a child, Vos was influenced by watching it on television, particularly acts featured on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Vos began his stand-up career in 1984, choosing to pursue it full-time as he "failed at everything else", and developed his act in local clubs.
In 1995, Vos 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, Vos hosted the Woodstock '99 festival, later calling it a highlight of his career.
In 2001, Vos played the bouncer and wrote and performed skits on the British television show The People vs. Jerry Sadowitz. In 2001, Vos released a stand-up comedy album, I'm Killing Here. This was followed by the DVD Vos, consisting of an unedited, 55-minute performance recorded at the Stress Factory in New Brunswick, New Jersey, released in 2004. He went on to produce two half-hour specials on Comedy Central Presents.
