Jim Gaffigan is a seven-time Grammy nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two-time New York Times best-selling author, three-time Emmy winning top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling recording artist. He is known around the world for his unique brand of humor, which largely revolves around his observations on life. Tickets for his Barely Alive Tour, are currently available at JimGaffigan.com.
A top ten comedian according to Forbes' 2019 comedy list and top ten earning comedian in Pollstar's 2022 list, Jim released his 9th stand-up special, Comedy Monster, on Netflix December 2021 which was nominated for a Grammy. He was also recently awarded for being the first comedian to reach one billion streams on Pandora. Gaffigan will release his 10th comedy special, Dark Pale, this year, an unprecedented achievement for the comedian/actor.
Gaffigan can currently be seen as the lead in the well-reviewed Sci-Fi dramedy, Linoleum, and stars as Mr. Smee in Disney's Peter Pan and Wendy, opposite Jude Law and Yara Shahidi. He will also co-star Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, James Marsden, and Hugh Grant in Netflix's Unfrosted, and co-stars in Susie Searches which premiered at TIFF last year and will hit theaters July 28th. Gaffigan joined the cast of HBO Max's Full Circle, a limited series from Steve Soderbergh and Ed Solomon which follows an investigation into a botched kidnapping connecting multiple characters and cultures in present day NY.

Gaffigan was also recently heard in Disney/Pixar's highly anticipated animated film, Luca, opposite Jacob Tremblay and Maya Rudolph.
On the silver screen, his many credits include Three Kings, Super Troopers 1 & 2, and Chappaquiddick. 2019 was Gaffigan's biggest year to date with an astonishing eight films releasing, three which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival including Troop Zero with Viola Davis and Alison Janney, Them That Follow and Light From Light - with many festival goers and press calling Gaffigan the "King of Sundance."
Gaffigan also had two films recently in which he debuted as the lead. The comedic film Being Frank, and American Dreamer, a dark thriller which was the grand finale of 2019 for Jim and features him as a ride share driver who moonlights as a private driver for a drug dealer.
Gaffigan can also currently be seen opposite Ethan Hawke in IFC Films Tesla, as well as opposite Josh Hartnett in Saban Films' Most Wanted.
In addition to two seasons of the critically acclaimed semi-autobiographical The Jim Gaffigan Show, which he wrote and produced with his wife Jeannie, and his widely popular stand-up comedy specials, Gaffigan has guest starred on many television comedies and dramas, ranging from Portlandia and Bob's Burgers to the HBO cult hits Flight of the Concords to dramatic roles in Law & Order.
Gaffigan regularly does humorous commentaries on CBS Sunday Morning for which he has won 3 Emmys. In 2018 Jim served as master of ceremony at The Al Smith Memorial dinner. In 2015, Gaffigan had the great honor of performing for Pope Francis and over 1 million festival attendees at the Festival of Families in Philadelphia.
Gaffigan and his wife currently live in Manhattan with their five loud and expensive children.
It was a fun time. I’ve been wanting to go to his concerts for many years. Over an hour of continuous funny quips. Hes so funny.
I think this might be Jim's best set yet! Great show!
The opening for Jim was hysterical! He did an awesome job. We really enjoyed him. The venue was great. The acoustics were spot on. It was very well organized. We had a super night. Jim Gaffigan always delivers a genuinely wholesome show that people can relate to. We have never seen him in person and we're so glad we did!
I have always wanted to see Jim Gaffigan live. Wow! He did not disappoint. I couldn't believe how it was all new material. The guy is hysterical!
The show was excellent. I enjoyed Jim Gaffegan's new stand-up comedy material. The venue was comfortable and very well organized.
Jim Gaffigan put on a great show which left us laughing for every minute of it. This is the first time we ahve seen him live and he did not disappoint. He uses everyday life in his comdey and makes life events funny and entertaining. His show is clean and you can relate to the comedic situations he presents. His delivery and manerisms are spot on and we thoughroughly enjoyed the show. The venue was cozy and worked well for the perfomance.
He’s a funny guy but material seems like the same old Dad and kid jokes.
It was our first time seeing Jim Gaffiagan, and he didn’t disappoint, my cheeks hurt from laughing the entire time. My only complaint would be that it seemed a little short, he was only on stage for about an hour, but we would definitely see him again.
It was not a laugh out loud show so there was a level of disappointment. I expected a wide range of topics. In Comedy Monster, he discusses clearly defined topics that were not related. I feel like this was a mishmash of topics. In other words, he didn't discuss any particular groups of people or various situations in life or his love of food. In fact, I don't remember much from the show. Would I see him again, at another time, yes. Also did not like the venue set up. I prefer theatre seats. Not tables with people you don't know and you have to look through people.
Lots of great new material and many big laughs in the first 2/3rds of the show! His brand of humor fell short when he reached complaining about his teen kids. As a parent of a new teen I felt it dragged on and in and wasnt nearly as funny as what me and fellow parents sometimes banter about when swapping stories of our adolescents. Was happy I went to the show but also when it ended.
