Jim Gaffigan

Comedy is a delicate art, especially when it comes to trying to apease the masses.. There are a multitude of types of humor that can be divisive to audiences. In addition, plenty of topics are gut-busting hilarious to some people but offensive to other people—and vice versa. Despite these differences in audience preferences, some comedians manage to strike a balance that amuses diverse crowds of people. Jim Gaffigan is one of those few who does it well.

Gaffigan is arguably one of the most universally appealing comedians working today. Comedy Couch describes him as someone who connects with “people from all ages and social scenes.” His relatively clean humor is a fresh break from many mainstream cable comedians, but dark asides leave a little to the imagination. Another appeal is that he panders to alternative comedy fanatics and mainstream viewers alike. His expertly weighed act of comedic styles weaves together observational comedy, deadpan, surreal humor, satire, and sarcasm. In addition, Gaffigan’s acts routinely draw on a range of voices—drawls to whispers to accents to effects—and a handful of characters to aid in storytelling. Many comedians who try to pull off such an odd grouping of techniques come across as chaotic or unskilled, but Gaffigan’s expert pace and indelible delivery avoids those pitfalls.

Gaffigan relocated to New York City to develop his career, but he is originally from Chesterton, Indiana. Pulling from both his Midwestern background and evolving day-to-day life on the East Coast, Gaffigan’s struggles and perspectives are relatable to audiences. His material centers on food, fatherhood, and laziness among other topics. For a glimpse of his work, check out his specials, such as Obsessed and Cinco—both of which received Grammy nominations.

Although Jim Gaffigan has been performing in comedy since 1991, his audience has amplified with the advent of new internet technologies that expanded his reach and influence. His latest major project—The Jim Gaffigan Show—is available on YouTube TV, Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, and Vudu. Jim Gaffigan’s comedy specials can be found on an even broader array of hosting apps. Paralleling his streaming successes is his involvement in social media; Gaffigan has branched out into virtually all major social media platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. Through these channels, he is able to connect with audiences and gauge their reactions.
