About Gerry

Comedian. Cult Leader. Minister of Comedy.

"The Mind of Gerry Gobel is Global. It's all Over the Place! His Setups may be Tin Foil, But His Punchlines are Platinum!" — Vince Morris Comedian Gerry Gobel has been entertaining crowds for over 32 years with his off-beat and darkly comedic style. Reality meets Fantasy in a performance described as "Self-deprecating, Profound, and Slightly Psychotic." As an undergraduate pursuing a teaching degree, Gerry's college experimentation led inevitably to flirtations with improv comedy, which he recreationally abused with groups such as National Velveeta and Improvable Cause. A lifelong addiction to stand-up comedy soon followed. He's performed with countless performers, such as Billy Gardell, Stewart Huff, Vince Morris, Ron Shock, Donnie Baker, and Ron White. Seeing a lack of stand-up teaching resources, Gerry started writing workshops and, over the course of 20 years, developed a very efficient system for editing material. He is currently the Comedy Guru of the Crackers Comedy Writing Workshop and administrates the Crackers Open Mic. During a stint as the Minister of Comedy for the 1st Church of Cannabis, Gerry oversaw content creation for the church during their legal battle with the State of Indiana. During those 4 years, he produced and starred in live-streamed shows such as The Canna Film Festival, Canna City Limits, and The Comedy Grinder. This journeyman comedian has been leaving marks on unsuspecting audiences. One of the funniest comedians you've never heard of, Gerry Gobel scars in the tradition of Hicks, Carlin, and Bruce.
