Now that I've watched this comedy special, this one out of all the others, I almost have to say that Gary Gulman could be the greatest comedian of our time. Yes, Chappelle, Mulaney, Burr, Gervais - etc. Are also all brilliant.. But THIS MAN is what someone might call an 'absolute Mensch' (forgive me I'm not certain how to spell it- but you could also say 'Gem of a person'). Unlike the others I mentioned or that you can think of, you can clearly see this human has empathy & lots of it. His delivery is impeccable, & the jokes are mind blowing to me.... It truly is one of the greatest sets I've ever witnessed. EASY.

I got to see both tapings of this special and I was worried that there were a lot of asides and little stories that wouldn't make it into the special (the stainless steel straws being one of them) but I was happy to see that we, the home viewer didn't lose out. Even the reference to the 'jazzy' opening style that a lot of comedians are doing was kept and was a great way to start the special. Highlight might have been his take on the dental industry that was absolutely hilarious and, without giving anything away, I can only assume it will be a favorite of dental assistants everywhere. Please don't miss out by not seeing this special. He has more than proven himself as a top tier comedian, despite not having the counterspace in his kitchen that SOME comedians don't even have to worry about.

"Born on 3rd Base" was my very first contact with Gary Gulman's comedy, but boy did he rock it. From maneuvering through the depths of growing up a poor yet somewhat content child, depending on the welfare system, being ripped off on Pop-Tarts at school to ridiculously funny advice on redeeming Banana Republic summer sale promo codes. Going to lengths at pointing out the inequalities of today's society, he doesn't fall short to show it's not a shame to not be standing on the sunny side of life. A warm, compassionate appeal to a little more humanity, and be it only when ordering a Subway sandwich or Chipotle burrito, which can leave the customer unwillingly feeling like a little dictator sometimes.
