Photo Flash: First Look at CHRIS GETHARD: CAREER SUICIDE Off-Broadway

Chris Gethard: Career Suicide, a new comedy written and performed by Chris Gethard, has extended its run at The Lynn Redgrave Theater, (45 Bleecker Street at the corner of Lafayette Street) due to overwhelming ticket sales, even before the first performance. A new block of tickets are now on sale through Sunday, November 27th. The official opening is scheduled for October 13th, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at Chris onstage below!

Chris Gethard: Career Suicide is presented by director, writer, and producer Judd Apatow (Trainwreck, Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Bridesmaids). Apatow is producing along with Brian Stern of AGI Entertainment, Mike Lavoie, and Mike Berkowitz.

Direct from an acclaimed, sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Chris Gethard: Career Suicide is a new comedy about depression, alcoholism, suicide, and the other funniest parts of life. Chris holds nothing back as he dives into his experiences with mental illness, ethically questionable psychiatry, and finding hope in weird places...even northern New Jersey. From devastating lows to manic highs, Chris Gethard: Career Suicide is a painfully honest journey into the mind of one of the most original and exciting comics at work today.

Directed by Kimberly Senior (Disgraced on Broadway, The Who And The What), Chris Gethard: Career Suicide will have scenic design by Brendan Boston (The Iceman Cometh), lighting design by Jen Schriever (Eclipsed on Broadway) and Trevor Dewey (The Coast of Utopia: Voyage), and sound design by Ryan Rumery (Fool For Love on Broadway).

Chris Gethard: Career Suicide marks Chris Gethard's New York stage debut.

Tickets for Chris Gethard: Career Suicide range from $35 (previews) and $45 (after October 13th) with premium seating available.
