(NEWTON, NJ) -- Gary Gulman is a comedy phenomenon who’s resume is a bountiful smorgasbord of life-experiences. Gary has been a scholarship college football player, an accountant, a barista, a doorman, a waiter and a high school teacher. Now, he is one of the most popular touring comics in the country today.  Gulman brings his act to The Newton Theatre on Saturday, June 16 at 8:00pm.  Tickets range from $29 to $34.

Boston-born Gary Gulman has appeared on just about every television show a young stand-up comedian can aspire to, including The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and The Late Show with David Letterman. While Gary has been a headlining comedian for several years, he is well known for his breakthrough success on NBC's hit stand-up showcase, Last Comic Standing. As a finalist two years in a row, he’s a pro at leaving his audiences in stitches every chance he can.

Gulman has released four comedy albums and the Village Voice has said “Gary will be the next giant ex-Bostonian comic to break huge... You heard it here first.” He is one of only a handful to perform on every single late night program.

His comedy album No Can Defend debuted at number 18 on iTunes and his one-hour comedy special, Gary Gulman: In This Economy? was recognized as one of the 5 best comedy specials currently airing on Netflix.  Another special It’s About Time, celebrating 20 years as a stand-up comedian, is also available on Netflix.

His tour of the same name is selling out theaters throughout the country. It’s no wonder the New York Times wrote “Gary is finally being recognized as one of the country’s strongest comedians.” Don’t miss this funny man who will have you laughing out loud and rolling in the aisles!

The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.
