Jim Gaffigan: Comedy Monster

He's such a funny, intelligent and observant comedian. Always makes me laugh and smile. I love his smart clean humor. He easily transitions from different topics easily.

If you like well written and performed comedy, then you will like this. Gaffigan is a master and there is a reason that the guy has so many specials. While one might think you don't want to even HEAR about covid, he has a funny take on it, as well as some great material on his kids' aspirations, etc.

Now... if you're another chronic compalainer who looks for things to gripe about without actually WATCHING the special... then don't. Some people look for ways to use their favorite words like 'cringe' and 'beta male' and 'cucky' - all in an effort to make themselves appear 'alpha'. And in so doing, they dismiss an entire hour+ or material as 'men bad/women great'. That's not even REMOTELY what this special is. Ignore the inane psuedo political rantings of people who continue to use the words 'cringe' as though it's an adjective. Because it isn't. No matter how often hipster posers try to use it that way.

Provides a couple of chuckles and technically speaking he's a solidly skilled comedian, but all the joke topics are so derivative, and he doesn't really bring a new or interesting spin to the topics he tackles. Plus, his voice was sometimes a little annoying at time, but that's subjective, and also I'm a bit of a jerk.

I've only seen one other Gaffigan special, and while I didn't love it, it still had more laughs than this. May check out other old specials of his when I'm next in a standup-watching mood.

Not his best special but still funny. Funny jab at the pandemic and some clever jokes about marching bands, bikers and getting old/fat. But some sections were completely unfunny and cringe. Even the audience was silent, reminding him that the jokes were overcooked and not working. His golfing bit was kinda funny. His finale joke fell flat also. Oh well, still a fan.

Warm up act was funnier. Very dull and boring routines. Told stories, not jokes. He couldn't get off the stage fast enough. Will not pay again to see him live. Extremely disappointed. If I could get my money back I would.
