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).

Seven questions with... Chris Gethard

There is a lot of excitement on the British comedy scene this year regarding Chris Gethard, not least because he is due to be making his Edinburgh Festival debut. He is already a big name in the US, having hosted The Chris Gethard Show since 2011, as well as starring in Parks and Recreation and America's The Office. Chris brings his show Career Suicide to the Fringe, where he proves there can be a funnier side to difficult topics such as alcoholism and depression.
