This week, Kaizen Komedy reviews the very methodical and layered writing of Gary Gulman. He is one of the few comics who constantly revisits and reworks bits and is a true Comic's Comic. Gulman has a way of writing about the most trivial of details in a way that brings them to life more than they initially were. Through personification, specificity, and sarcasm, Gulman is able to form long well rounded bits that have multiple story arcs, all working towards a satisfying resolve.

In this episode, we break down the following jokes: Role Play (No Can Defend 2012), Not That into You (It's About Time 2016), and Karate Kid (In This Economy 2013).
