Solo Pop Chris Gethard (HBO's Career Suicide
About This Event
Chris Gethard brings a solo performance titled "Solo Pop," billed with reference to HBO's Career Suicide, to UCB Theatre. He became widely known as the host of a long-running, NYC-based talk show that combined call-in unpredictability with live-theater energy, and he hosts THAT SHOW there. His onstage approach favors candor and odd specificity over polish.
About Career Suicide
At UCB Theatre, Chris Gethard brings “Career Suicide” into the room as a piece of New York alt-comedy history, shaped by the downtown stage culture that also carried his long-running talk show. This is a solo set in the vein of “Solo Pop,” built from frank autobiography, awkward specificity, and the deliberate exposure of doubt. It matters in a city where confessional comedy became a shared language for performers and audiences. The critical edge is its refusal to soften the uncomfortable parts.
