Jim Gaffigan is one of the funniest persons I have seen. From start to end, it is non-stop stomache hurting laughing that never gets old. I have heard him talk about hot pockets for years, yet I laugh just as hard every time. I will continue seeing him whenever he is in the area.
My husband never laughs and he laughed non-stop at Gaffigan's comedy. Gaffigan is a great comedian and the venue was great at MGM Grand at Foxwoods. The only thing that would have made the evening better would have been if I had won the car at the progressive slot machine I was playing. Anyway, along with your Dad, "We love you Jim!"
I was happy to be back at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the first time since its renovation. The remodeled theater is very attractive and comfortable. Our seats were in a great location in the orchestra section. The audience was young and energetic. Gaffigan used some new and some familiar material. His delivery was great, and the jokes were laugh-out-loud funny throughout the performance. I never get tired of his "Hot Pockets" bit.
I just want to say I love love Jim Gaffian. He is awesome! The Theatre - Mahalia Jackson Theatre in New Orleans - acoustics were awful. I could not understand anything the first act said, and then I only could hear half of Jim Gaffigan. The only thing I laughed at was the jokes I already knew from watching him on TV. I thought I was lucky to be in first row - stage right, but it was the worst seat in the house.
This may have been fun for insiders but for those of us who had never seen this guy it was boring. Perhaps the poor audio and/or mumbling contributed.
Seriously, this thing had bacon wrapped in bacon in a Dominoes breadbowl with gravy. Amazing!
Not knowing who this person was, I was hesitant to go to the show. I am so glad I did! I have not laughed that hard and with tears in a while. He is funny without using foul language, which is basically unheard of in today's comedic venues. It is refreshing! He used everyday events and then topped it off with a side of inner-conscious dialogue as to what some audience members might have actually been thinking about what he just said. It was a little weird and different but in a good way.
