If you didn’t get a chance to catch it at UCB or Off-Broadway in NYC, tonight is your chance to see Chris Gethard’s Career Suicide solo show as an HBO special.
Specifically, it airs at 10PM on HBO tonight.
Before then, here’s Chris giving you some backstory of how he got here with this show and what it has meant to a lot of the audiences that have seen it.
Chris Gethard’s Off Broadway solo show, Career Suicide, presented by Judd Apatow, got made into an HBO special.
The taping went for a rather intimate feel, which is refreshing to see and probably appropriate for the show.
Catch a glimpse of it with this trailer, then look for Career Suicide to premiere on HBO on Saturday, May 6th.
Chris Gethard’s Solo Show “Career Suicide” Will Air on HBO in May
When it comes to comedy specials, HBO still is a force to be reckoned with.
Despite Netflix nabbing specials from Chappelle, Rock, Seinfeld, and Schumer for this year, HBO choosing to release Chris Gethard comedy special from his Off-Broadway show could bode very well for them.
Also, please note how ironic the concept of something called “Career Suicide” being an HBO special is.
As part of making the rounds for his off-Broadway show, Career Suicide, Chris Gethard got to come on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Sadness and laughing about it threads through the interview while talking about Gethard’s Chris Gethard Show and this new solo show.
Also, it turns out Colbert and Gethard share in, albeit from different angles, one important, very specific sort of anxiety.
Chris Gethard’s Solo Show “Career Suicide”, Now Presented by Judd Apatow, Is Going Off-Broadway
From UCB in NYC to Edinburgh to Off-Broadway, Chris Gethard’s Career Suicide, is the latest comedian solo show to climb its way up the ladder to Off-Broadway. Apatow’s name being attached here is another sign of the growing trend of comedians hitting Off Broadway (and even actual Broadway in the case of Oh, Hello).
Look for shows to start on October 5th at The Lynn Redgrave Theater.
