Comedian Gary Gulman unpacks his childhood in his brilliant new book, Misfit, and its corresponding stand-up tour.
Having just interviewed comedian Gary Gulman, my most treasured takeaway is that he uses the phrase, “Oh, my word,” with such casual regularity that it proves my long-percolating theory that he is an utter delight—and sadly, it’s no surprise he was bullied as a child in the 1980s., and its corresponding stand-up tour.
Gulman’s newly released book and current stand-up tour use his childhood as a way of “immersing people in the experience of [his] brain,” and both projects are nothing short of inspired. As it turns out, the key to success here is his level of detail, which is intimate and dabbled with the hard-to-write yet easy-to-digest fruits of cultural nostalgia. With the dexterity of a top-notch DIY crafter, Gulman gift wraps his pain in a mood board hodgepodge of 1980s toy references and effervescent adjectives.
these in-depth though innocuous little runs of nostalgia are the deposits of fortitude he knows we’ll need to get through the pages devoted to his feelings of isolation and deep sadness—described in equal depth. These frequent verbal treats buoy the reader and audience enough to stay with him when he eventually puts a knife to his wrist.
