About me
Chris Gethard is a comedian, podcaster, author, actor, and former television host. He’s been an active performer for over two decades. His work expanded to include mental health advocacy and activism after the release of his 2017 HBO special Career Suicide, in which he detailed his experiences navigating the mental health system in dealing with his own depression and anxiety issues.
Career Suicide received critical praise that made Chris a sought-after speaker in the mental health advocacy space. In 2022, Chris delivered a keynote as part of Wellness Together’s annual Student Mental Wellness Conference. He found Wellness Together’s mission and methodology exciting and forward-thinking, and as his conversations with the organization continued and grew the Laughing Together partnership was born.
Chris joined the Wellness Together team to bring comedy and mental health together to support students and communities.
