beautiful anonymous

Through hundreds of episodes over the years, Chris Gethard has opened up the podcast void to take calls in from anyone and everyone so long as they remain anonymous. The resulting podcast, Beautiful/Anonymous, has become one of the best podcasts, no matter the category, for how endearing, vulnerable, funny, heartwarming, heartbreaking, and unmistakably human it is, has been, and continues to be.

Now, this experiment turned to weekly-salve-for-the-soul is going to get a bit of an upgrade and be its own TV series over at topic.com starting this Thursday. It’ll show Gethard taking calls in a studio and add visuals to accompany and accentuate the calls that will, of course, remain anonymous.

This first episode will be free, courtesy of topic.com, then you’ll have to subscribe for a few bucks a month for the rest (as well as exclusive series from the likes of Maria Bamford, Wyatt Cenac, etc.)

With all of that said, get a sneak peek of the Beautiful/Anonymous TV show with this trailer here.

Here's the trailer for the Beautiful/Anonymous TV show debuting this Thursday. You can watch the first one free at https://t.co/LXhe6VHAp8 – it's gonna be a real good time and I hope you enjoy it. pic.twitter.com/kVPjGeBH8F

Chris Gethard has not only built his career in comedy on his own terms, but Gethard has also built beautiful communities around so much of his work. From his public access days to the cable days of The Chris Gethard Show all the way to his current podcast, Beautiful Anonymous, there is something special about the folks that rally around Gethard and his endeavors. This includes devoted fans as well as other comedians that Chris wants to shine a light on.

Gethard zooms with TCB’s Jake Kroeger for a deep conversation about the crucial importance of community during 2020 in comedy and especially with Beautiful Anonymous, a show uniquely equipped to offer connection at a time in history where we’re more isolated from each other than ever. Also, they dish out “hot” takes on 2021 Grammy nominees for Best Comedy Album and Dave Chappelle not getting paid over streaming of Chappelle’s Show.

Follow Chris at ChrisGeth.com, listen/subscribe to Beautiful Anonymous wherever you get your podcasts, check out Planet Scum here, and get tickets to Chris Gethard’s Live Improvised Special on 12/4 here.

It’s not often that Chris Gethard swings by LA, so you really ought not to pass up a chance to see him.

Also, a live taping of his amazing podcast Beautiful Anonymous is another thing that you should make plans for whenever it happens.

On top of all of that, Chris is out promoting his upcoming life advice book, Lose Well, and, at this point, you’re probably going to want to check that out too. It comes out on Oct. 16th, but if you pre-order right now, “Chris will send you a video message, an audio file you can use as your outgoing voicemail message, or he’ll call you directly for a two-minute chat!”

Luckily, you can do all three on Wed., Oct. 24th at Dynasty Typewriter. Tickets are $40, which will include a copy of Lose Well. Get a ticket here ASAP (we have a feeling it might sell out.
