Gary Gulman: Grandiloquent

Grandiloquent is GARY GULMAN’s 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.

Over 30 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 universally acclaimed stand-up specials for HBO Max, “Born On 3rd Base”, lending his meticulous comedic craft to the current Tale of Two Cities-esque wealth gap, and “The Great Depresh”, a tour de force look at mental illness, which is equal parts hilarious and inspiring.

Most recently, Gary made his off-broadway debut with a 5 week sold out run at The Lucille Lortel Theatre of his critically acclaimed one man show "Grandiloquent" directed by Tony Award winner Moritz von Stuelpnagel and produced by Mike & Carlee Productions ("Oh Mary").

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 is currently touring with "Misfit: A Gary Gulman Stand Up & Book Tour", which features material based on his book, but not a repeat of the book. Gary lives in Harlem with his wife.
