IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN

Ed Wolf was born in New York, the oldest of 10 children, and raised in Tampa and North Miami. He currently lives and works in San Francisco and is ecstatic to present "It's Hard To Explain," the audience favorite from last year's San Francisco EXIT Theatre's Storytelling Festival, to TIFF.

Working in the HIV/AIDS field since 1983, as chronicled in the award-winning documentary "We Were Here," he's told stories of growing up as a queer kid in Florida, attending the University of South Florida in the late 60s, life in New York's Greenwich Village at the beginning of gay liberation, and the early days of the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco at the Sundance Film Festival, the Berlinale (Berlin International Film Festival), Molodist (Kiev International Film Festival) and Side-by-Side LGBT Film Festival in St. Petersburg, Russia. In San Francisco he's performed at Oasis, The Lost Church, National Queer Arts Festival, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Verdi Club, The Swedish American Hall, Brava Theatre, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and many others.

His stories have been recorded on multiple pod-casts, including Audible.com, and he is the voice of Stew in the on-line animation series The Deer-in-Between. His writing has appeared in numerous publications, including Beyond Definition: New Writing from Gay and Lesbian San Francisco; The Bay Area Reporter; The National Library of Poetry; Rebel Yell: Gay Men of the South; The AIDS Reader; Queer and Catholic; Fray: Sex and Death; Christopher Street and The James White Review. He was nominated for a Pushcart Prize in 1996.
