Gary Gusman “The Great Depresh”

I love to stream a great 60 minute comedy show, but was a bit startled by this one as the star, Gary Gusman, talks frankly about his struggle with mental illness throughout the show. It begins with footage of him literally breaking down in front of an audience and then cuts to him on stage a few years later (2019) feeling better and doing his stand-up act to perfection, warts and all. He truly teaches us what it is like to suffer by interspersing film of himself, his wife, his therapist, his mother all talking about how Gary has dealt with his demons from grade school through playing football at BC and beyond. I know this sounds like a downer, but it is actually very sweet and uplifting. I promise that you will laugh plenty!
