Over 25 years in comedy, Gary Gulman has established himself as an eminent performer and peerless writer. Gulman’s latest special, “The Great Depresh,” which aired on HBO earlier this year, is his most ambitious work yet — a tour de force look at mental illness, equal parts captivating and inspiring. And even as Gulman describes hospitalization, experimental treatments, and childhood trauma, “The Great Depresh” manages to be every bit as hilarious as Gulman’s past work.
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.
He was most recently seen in the “Joker” film, starring Joaquin Phoenix and directed by Todd Phillips.
