With over 25 years in comedy, Gary Gulman has established himself as an eminent performer and peerless writer. It’s no wonder the New York Times wrote, “Gary is finally being recognized as one of the country’s strongest comedians.”
A product of Boston, Gulman has been a scholarship college football player, an accountant, and a high school teacher. He has made countless television appearances as both a comedian and an actor and is one of only a handful of comedians to perform on every single late-night comedy program.
Gulman has made four successful TV specials including his most recent critically acclaimed stand-up special for HBO, The Great Depresh, a tour de force look at mental illness, which is equal parts hilarious and inspiring. In 2019 he appeared in the international blockbuster Joker. He will next be seen co-starring with Amy Schumer in the upcoming Hulu comedy series, Life & Beth, and is currently writing a memoir for Flatiron Books, tentatively titled K Through 12.

I very impressed with Gary Gulman and his standup routine was excellent.
I had no familiarity with Gary prior to attending his show. His comedy was very relevant to todays issues, but also remained hysterically funny. I laughed so much my abs were sore the next day.
I attended the 8 PM show at NJPAC Saturday, 3/19/2022. I did not enjoy the opening comedienne. She came across as unprepared. Gary Gulman, on the other hand, was completely ready to deliver the sharp, smart comedy I expected. I thoroughly enjoyed his "typing" as well as his explanation of Born on 3rd Base. Gary's comedy is drawn from his own life experience which he shares unabashedly. I found him to be warm and genuine and just a tad "bitter".
I could not stop laughing. Gary Gulman never disappoints, but this show was just fantastic! He is a master of his craft and it shows. Can’t wait to see him again!
I’m sorry. I just didn’t find him funny. I get he’s doing the Jewish schticky thing but as a Jew I found it pretty bland. He needs to study up on Don Rickles, Jackie Mason, Joan Rivers. I know I’m a bit older than maybe his target audience (in my 60s) but that whole thing about Seinfeld didn’t strike me as comedic, more something prose or in the Moth. A chuckle here or there. Btw Dina Hashem was cutting edge and hysterical.
Great show. Gary was funny, heartfelt, and engaging. Laughed the whole show through.
Gary Gulman did not disappoint and even thrilled us all. He was on the top of his game, new material, hysterically funny, clever, sweet, and gracious. He had you thinking even as you were laughing. He was so appreciative of the crowd, and the crowd was very receptive! Great natured ribbing the front row without the slightest bit of nastiness. Only with Gary Gulman could you be the brunt of the jokes all night yet have the night be a total joy! The venue was lovely, parking was easy, the staff were helpful and so kind. Such an incredible super fun night! Thank you Gary Gulman!
I have loved Gary Gulman's comedy for many years. This was the first time I was able to see him live. Gary was very funny and I enjoyed the show and the opening comedienne very much. You can't go wrong seeing anything he does!
Gary was great. However, throughout the entire night, we saw several people without masks on and none of the theater staff did anything about this. Not once did we see an usher or manager or bartender ask a patron to properly wear their mask or put one on at all. We saw entire parties in the orchestra without them. This was a shame to see as it could lead to shows getting shut down again in the future.
Excellent performances in a beautiful venue. Dina Hashem was the perfect warm-up to Gulman's outstanding set.
Gary is brilliant. The theater was packed and he had the audience laughing, perhaps guffawing, the whole time. Lots of new material delivered in his patented way. He gave a pretty long show as well, close to 90 minutes. I highly recommend seeing him live.
Born on third base is the perfect follow-up to The Great Depresh! Continuing to reveal more about himself and his life and perspective, Gary uses his inimitable style and 3.5 or up GPA intelligence to expose his view of the world. From Shark Tank to dentists to Billionaires and, naturally, paramecium, no one is spared. Who else could make "Is this your card?" a monster closing bit? If this is what we get from him being holed up during a pandemic, get me to Wuhan because I have some work to do.
Great comedian, good venue, good night back in the world
I had never seen Joyelle Nicole Johnson and she was hilarious. I love her kind of humor and will be following her now. Gary was amazing. I feel terrible about the rude people in the front row but I'm proud of Gary and his ability to set boundaries. The show was amazing, we had a great time. I've liked Gary for many years now. I'm a social worker/counselor and I have referred many clients to watch "The Great Depresh". I appreciate his vulnerability and bringing light to our darkness. Thank you, Gary Gulman and thank you for introducing me to Joyelle. She truly is a "joy".
This show was originally scheduled for March 19, 2020 and was cancelled twice due to COVID, so I think Gary could have easily cancelled but thankfully did not. Treated the crowd to a fantastic show, new material but even performed a "State Abbreviation" encore. As the show opened, the Kansas City Chiefs trailed the Los Angeles Charger 10-14. Went home to watch the DVR from that point forward and did not celebrate the Chiefs win until 12:36 AM. On a scale of 0-10, this night was a PERFECT 10. Thank you to Gary and can't wait until your return to Kansas again! Thank You Gary.
Great venue. Great comedians. Except the part where Gulman unleashed his fury to people talking upfront. I appreciated that he went after the talkers (not heckling him) but that was a bit much. Unfortunately that is what we walked away with, the outburst, instead of funny memories of jokes.
When I bought tickets in July, all that was available were two seats across the room from each other. I kept the seats, wanting to see the show and my wife said she didn't mind. When we got there, an usher was able to get us seats together. The setting was perfect for this show. Gary was even better in person. He sunk it from mid court. I loved the new material, but was giddy to hear him do "Abreviations of the states."
Gary Gulman was incredible. I brought my 13 year old, and my three 20 somethings, my in laws and my wife. I can truly say that all ages loved the show. The guy is funny, sure, but he is so smart and such great story teller. I am obsessed
There was an annoying ticking sound going on at the Paramount next to us behind the bar and it was very distracting. That was the only negative to the show.
