Chris Gethard (The Chris Gethard Show, Broad City, The Office, Parks and Recreation) presents an hour of stand-up comedy that focuses on suicide, depression, alcoholism and all the other funniest parts of life. Gethard, who the New York Times says has 'the sneaky intensity of someone with a chip on his shoulder' and, New York Magazine notes, has a talent for 'mounting shows that find humor in communal discomfort', is making his Edinburgh debut. 'Honest, raw and (of course) painfully funny, Chris transformed his life into storytelling art' (Now Toronto).
