Gary Gulman’s relentless tour schedule brings him to Houston this May. Known for his one-man show Grandiloquent, Gulman will perform at the House of Blues on Wednesday, May 13, 2026, at 7:00 PM.
The Peabody, Massachusetts native gained fame on Last Comic Standing and has since honed his craft in long-form storytelling. His specials, including The Great Depresh on HBO, explore personal themes like mental health with candor.
Houston audiences can expect Gulman’s signature introspective humor, enriched by insights from his Off-Broadway success. His comedy, a blend of detailed setups and insightful punchlines, feels like an engaging conversation, covering topics from childhood to language quirks.
While often compared to Mike Birbiglia, Gulman maintains a unique voice, blending self-deprecation with strength. Appearances on Inside Amy Schumer and HBO’s Crashing highlight his thoughtful approach and enduring appeal.
