Career Winner

Ah, yes, I doubt I can say much that has not been said before. I identify completely. Have been on every medication that Gerhardt mentions and have experienced most everything he has in some form, aside from the alcoholism- my "addictions" differ only ostensibly, because I believe the root cause is all the same, and I no doubt have the addictive personality to fill a void.But to hear him express it in such a soothing voice is something akin to his unabashed adoration for Morrissey & The Smiths. He gets me. Fast forward a few years, he still gets me! I would love to meet this guy. He seems like he would be a great teddy bear to commiserate with!I would love to meet Barbara, his therapist, who has moved to Mexico. I, maybe inappropriately, always long for that therapist that slightly crosses boundaries to be first and foremost my friend. Only slightly- but significantly so- before being my professional healthcare provider.Career Suicide is indeed exactly that. A courageous, vulnerable, necessary, and valuable risk to take in standup. And it pays. At least for me and the mental health community. And honestly, who cares about anyone else in this context? We matter!; represent!

Another laugh track comedian

Constant babbling with a laugh track thrown in. Almost all shots of the audience they are just sitting there seemingly waiting for permission to leave. Another over confident un-funny talker. There's a select group with front row couch seat that look particularly miserable.
