NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Veteran comic
Gary Gulman returns to COMEDY CENTRAL in the network television
premiere of "Gary Gulman: In This
Economy," debuting on Saturday, December
8 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT.
Gulman takes on the absurd realities of living in a financial
crisis with his all-new stand-up special. In front of a live
audience at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston, he gives the kind of financial tips
one can't get from Wall Street, explains how constantly watching
movies helps save money, puts millionaires in perspective, and
imagines a conversation between Bill
Gates and Donald
Trump.
Leading up to the on-air premiere, the COMEDY CENTRAL Stand-Up
Web site will feature preview clips from the special.
Gulman got his big break as a runner-up on NBC's "Last Comic
Standing," and then joined Dane Cook
and Robert Kelly on HBO's
Tourgasm. He has appeared on "The Tonight Show with
Jay Leno," "The Late Show with
David Letterman," "The Late Late
Show with Craig Ferguson" (and
Craig Kilborn), "Last Call with
Carson Daly," and "Jimmy Kimmel
Live."
His critically-acclaimed digital album on COMEDY CENTRAL Records
called "No Can Defend" was recorded in at the Metropolitan Room in
New York City and was released in
June. TheLaughButton.com stated "Gulman's style lies
somewhere between Jerry Seinfeld and
Woody Allen, let's call it
observational-neurotic."
Gulman also has starred in COMEDY CENTRAL's "Premium Blend," the
COMEDY CENTRAL one-hour special "Gary
Gulman: Boyish Man," "Showtime Presents Gary Gulman," and
"Comics Unleashed with Byron
Allen." He has performed at events including the
NASCAR Year End Banquet, New York Comedy Festival, HBO's Las Vegas
Comedy Festival, Just for Laughs Montreal International Comedy
Festival and Just For Laughs Gala in Canada, as well as at over 100 colleges
including Yale, Harvard, Boston
College, Tulane, Villanova, Boston
University, NYU, UCLA, Ohio State,
Texas Christian University,
Brandeis and MIT.
"Gary Gulman: In This Economy" is
executive produced by Gulman, Brian
Volk-Weiss and Bill
Blumenreich.
