About This Event
Comedian Chris Gethard brings Solo Pop to the UCB Theatre. He is known for a long-running, New York City–based talk show and for hosting THAT SHOW at UCB, where he works within a loose structure and a taste for audience friction. His material favors candor and odd specificity, a sensibility that informs his live performances and podcasting.
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.
