Jim Gaffigan: The Pale Tourist

Love jims stuff! wasn't expecting all regional jokes but still, not disappointed at all!

The Canadian set was hilarious. I laughed nonstop. Virtually every joke was a hit. Then I put on the Spanish set. Wow.....*thud.* Not a single laugh. Ended up turning it off because I was falling asleep after 30 minutes. The audience didn't seem into it either. It was a shock why Gaffigan would put such a weak set out there. It was a total downer after the show in Canada. I've seen Jim Gaffigan live and I couldn't breathe from laughing so hard. This is a just bizarre misstep and I don't understand why he did it.

As a a Canadian-American laughed my buttocks off. Wonderful Insight. Well done Jim!

Cred for being a clean family comic, but all a bit rambling, childish and repetitive for me. I guess you either like his delivery style or not. Good for kids and families though.

This was strange. The Canadian set seemed to point out interesting, fun inconsistencies in Canadian culture in Gaffigan's usual good natured way. The Spanish set was... insulting is too strong a word. I guess it just felt like an unpolished early set. The laughter sounded like a laugh track - every response at the same medium intensity. Zero resonance. The Canadian set would have medium and high laughs as the audience related to the silliness. The Spanish audience sat there as he went through every Spanish dish he could think of and quietly scoffed at it in a Garrison Keillor whisper. So odd..
