Gary Gulman Goes From the Psych Ward to Carnegie Hall

<p>It’s been two years since Gary Gulman released his remarkable stand-up special <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/how-comedian-gary-gulman-overcame-depression-to-make-the-funniest-stand-up-special-of-the-year" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">‘The Great Depresh.’</a> And despite a global pandemic that caused its own parallel mental health crisis, he says he’s really never felt better. The 51-year-old comedian is currently touring two new hours of material, one of which will land him at Carnegie Hall in November, less than five years after he walked out of a psychiatric ward. In this episode, Gulman opens up about how he turned things around and achieved a new level of comedy confidence that has allowed him to be vulnerable on stage in a whole new way. He also weighs in on Bo Burnham’s anxiety-themed special ‘Inside,’ previews his role in Amy Schumer’s new show, looks back at his “miserable” time on Dane Cook’s ‘Tourgasm’ and a lot more.</p><p><br></p><p>Follow Gary Gulman on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/GaryGulman" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GaryGulman</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/garygulmanmedy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@garygulman</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/keyword/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a>.</p> &#10;&nbsp;<br /><hr><p style='color: grey; font - size: 0.75em; '>See <a style='color: grey; ' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer' href='https://acast.com/privacy'>acast.com/privacy</a> for privacy and opt-out information.</p>
