FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Great Barrington, Mass.—The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center will present stand-up comedian Gary Gulman on Thursday, July 31 at 8 p.m.
Over 25 years in comedy, Gary Gulman has established himself as an eminent performer and peerless writer.
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. Gulman has made five masterful TV specials including his most recent stand-up special, Born on Third Base, which premiered December 2023 on MAX.
His previous, universally acclaimed special for HBO was 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 can most recently be seen co-starring with Amy Schumer in the hit Hulu comedy series, Life & Beth.
Gary’s first book published by Flatiron Books is titled Misfit: Growing Up Awkward in the ’80s, a memoir based on his life from Kindergarten through twelfth grade. It was released in September of 2023. Amy Schumer called the book “laugh out loud funny and heartfelt” and MacArthur Fellowship recipient Adrian Nicole LeBlanc found it “exquisite, love-affirming and generous.”
Today, Gulman is one of the most popular touring comics, selling out theaters around the country including the prestigious Carnegie Hall in New York City. Gary’s current tour “Misfit: A Gary Gulman Stand Up & Book Tour” features material based on his book, but not a repeat of the book.
