Hailed by Esquire as someone who “can make absolutely anything funny” Gary Gulman has established himself as an eminent performer and peerless writer, with a thirty-year career marked by masterful specials, critically acclaimed long-form storytelling, and a singular comedic voice.
Grandiloquent is his hilarious new show about insecurity, empathy, self-acceptance and how a thoughtful boy learned to use humor, reading and writing to cope with the consequences of his parents’ blunders. Learn why a seemingly confident middle-aged man feels most comfortable in a large room where a thousand strangers are laughing at him.
His HBO Max specials—including Born on 3rd Base, praised for its razor-sharp insight into the American wealth divide, and The Great Depresh, a groundbreaking blend of humor and mental-health candor—have secured his place among the most thoughtful comedians of his generation. Gulman’s talent extends far beyond stand-up: he appeared in the Oscar-nominated film Joker, co-starred with Amy Schumer in Hulu’s Life & Beth, and made his Off-Broadway debut with a five-week, sold-out run of Grandiloquent, directed by Tony Award winner Moritz von Stuelpnagel.
A night with Gary Gulman is more than comedy—it is storytelling at its most human, honest, and hilariously precise.
