About Gary Gulman
Gary Lewis Weston Gulman (born July 17, 1970) is an American stand-up comedian. He was a finalist on the NBC reality-talent show Last Comic Standing in its second and third seasons. He released his first CD, Conversations with Inanimate Objects, in 2005, and his first television special Gary Gulman: Boyish Man the following year. Since then he has released several other comedy albums and specials, including 2019's The Great Depresh on HBO. Gulman was born in Peabody, Massachusetts, to Barbara and Philip Gulman, the youngest of three brothers, and was raised in a Jewish family.
Gulman attended Peabody Veterans Memorial High School and went on to Boston College on a football scholarship, playing tight end during his freshman year before leaving the team. He graduated in 1993 with a degree in accounting, planning to become a CPA, and worked for two years as an accountant at Coopers & Lybrand while going to comedy club open mics at night. He then worked as a substitute teacher, known for trying out his stand-up routines on high-school students before performing them on stage at night. His comedy centers on absurd observations about daily occurrences.
Gulman is one of only a handful of comedians to appear on every major late-night television comedy program, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Conan, and Late Night with Seth Meyers. He first came to national attention in 2003 as a contestant on the second season of Last Comic Standing, finishing third behind John Heffron and Alonzo Bodden. His specials include Boyish Man (2006), In This Economy? (2012), It's About Time (2016), The Great Depresh (2019), and Born on Third Base, which premiered on Max in December 2023 to critical acclaim.
