Gary Gulman Reviews

HB from Janesville, WI

I WAS NOT HECKLING

Gary Gulman has long been my favorite comedian, until Friday's show. I was in front with my husband, happy to be so close. When he came I was very excited! He did seem a bit off and distracted during the show. I spoke very quietly to my husband a few times and toward the end, Mr. Gulman made a comment directly to me ... something about hearing me ALL night and to just "Shut the F*** up." Kind of broke my heart that he would be so unkind. Won't be seeing him again.

NAPA SHOW

Obviously intelligent but between the rambling and disconnected storytelling it just wasn’t funny. We left early.

DON’T WASTE YOUR $ OR TIME

Horrible, did not laugh once and if you are a Christian be ready for an entire night of Jesus bashing, He can’t come up with anything else to joke about. Complete amateur. His opening act did a great job but that ended once Gary hit the stage . We saw Gary Gulman at the Orange Peel 10/7/23.. The 5 of us were visiting Asheville on a girls trip and couldn’t stand to listen to him any longer so we left.

VERY DISAPPOINTING

I had watched a few videos if Gary before purchasing tickets. Can’t tell you how disappointed I was in the show. I didn’t laugh once. Mocking religions in today’s world is just in poor taste.

SOMETHING HAS CHANGED WITH GG

I was so excited to see one of the funniest comics out there. We even had 2nd row seats! What could go wrong? The opening act was hysterical and all GG had to do was come out and be GG and it all would have been great. That didn't happen. The quick thinking GG seemed to be "struggling" at times. I had a hard time determining if it was part of the act or if it was a genuine struggle connecting thoughts and remembering where he was going. He still made it happen and delivered a 90-minute, relatively quick patter, purposeful rambling skit, but the previous reviews, where they talk about him making fun of Jesus, are not wrong. I know artists change iit up and writing new material must be very hard. This routine seems more alienating than I would have expected from someone like him though. I hope this was a one time miss as I would hate to think this is the direction he wants to go with his comedy. There was more laughter than silence and I would still welcome a chance to see him again.

NOT A GOOD SHOW!!

Was excited to see GG--been a fan of his for years. He started by telling everyone "I've got to get you out of here by 9:15". He then proceeded into a rambling, disconnected routine, making constant references to the time. Not a ton of laughs as he dissected his childhood. At one of the (numerous) awkward, silent pauses, I, a 67-year-old woman, REALLY wanted to shout out "IS IT 9:15 YET?!?" I think I would have gotten a bigger laugh. Not enough chutzpah; I'm still kicking myself... He spent a lot of time bashing religions (got some hissing from the crowd) and putting down the audience for not understanding several of his rather esoteric references. All in all, it seemed like an "I'm SO much more intelligent than you"-fest. NOT funny. I'm sorry I spent the money.
