Gary Gulman Performs Stand-Up

[@EricNiemeyer]

Something he does with his comedy is reach out to people going through things he's gone through and say "I see you, and you're not alone", and it's just fucking beautiful. Unbelievably good comic.

[@karanjetley]

This man is one the most underrated comedians.

[@DamienDiehl]

Both of them. I'm sad they removed In This Economy once It's About Time was added, I'm not even sure where I can watch the former anymore :(

[@DamienDiehl]

Actually I thought the same thing when I first watched his new one. But once I watched it a few more times, it's really grown on me. I'm not sure how I'd rank them myself, both have really great moments. In This Economy is really consistently funny throughout the whole special, though.

[@dereklewis4321]

@@DamienDiehl I think all of his bits are on par with each other

[@innervisions1828]

He's not underrated by me! I think he's one of the best.

[@MsGrapeNehi]

Everyone with depression can relate to this on a deep personal level... while watching this video on their phone, while lying in an unmade bed eating ice cream with a fork.

[@whatsadog2445]

Here’s an upvote from a man lying on his unmade bed

[@Bette_Fontenot]

Right? Anyone who hasn't been there might think this bit is a commentary on "laziness." Without even knowing this man, I immediately knew he has to be relating living day-to-day with depression. I've definitely eaten my fair share of ice cream with a fork LOL

[@nancyann1014]

Damn, he's one of my favorite comedians, but this is a wild set to revisit after everything he revealed last year about his depression. On one hand, it's great that he was able to convert it to comedy in situations like this, but on the other hand, it's terrifying to think about what he was actually going through personally at the time of this set (especially since I relate to several aspects of the set). I'm very glad he was able to get the help he needed to work on his depression, and hopefully he will continue to grow and thrive as a comedian.

[@BdR76]

That was like the opposite of a motivational speech xD hilarious

[@onlinesaurav]

Wait you listen to stand up comedy for motivation? Clearly you are in the wrong place, my friend.

[@zerazara]

I would say this oposite. If I was a loosee like this guy, this would be an eye opener.

[@somehowoptional2501]

This is classic procrastination-life-style - kind of motivating - until the procrastination "kicks in".

[@elenavonpavel-pitts3442]

I can soooo relate. Never dealt with depression or went thru it til my husband of 22 years asked for a divorce while we were at the beach celebrating. We were walking our dogs when he "told" me and all i could think of was to tell my aged King Scotty Dog to "bite him". I didn't as i was in shock. He had no reason why. When i moved in with my widowed girlfriend of 30 years...i slept in her basement(with Edward...my Scotty dog).I slept fully dressed in my uniform, hat, winter coat, sock and shoes. And ....around my clean and dry clothes that lay for weeks on the bed. Instead of ice cream, it was whiskey and coke for alot of weeks. So Gary, i can relate. BUT it does get better as time goes by. PS...ten years later, he begged me to take him back...said all the women he dated were flat out crazy.

[@CrackThoseClaws]

@ everyone doesn't have it. others are delusional and not bright enough to realize their life sucks. think homeless people. not too many depressed homeless.

[@MuscarV2]

@ of course it is... Let's say everyone got aids, would you say "is it aids if everyone has it"? No you wouldn't, unless you're an idiot taken to a new level of stupidity. And as said, FAR from everyone has it, the world would go under way quicker than it is now if everyone did. People are also dumb enough to say they're depress or whatever when they are just down for the moment. That really undermines true depression which sucks, so few people even come close to understanding what real depression is.

[@souldreamer9056]

gfunk6 - Im sorry but that is not the case. Effective disorders, especially depression, is an entire order of magnitude higher among homeless. The outcome of suicide is rife. That shouldn’t surprise anyone.
