Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan is a Grammy nominated comedian, New York Times best-selling author, top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling father of five.  His cleaver, deadpan style has made him one of the top touring comedians in the country. His humor largely revolves around fatherhood, observations, laziness and food. He is also regarded as a "clean" comic, using little profanity or sexual humor in his routines.

The comedian recently wrapped the first season of his semi-fictitious television show, “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” which TV Land picked up for a second season. The series, lauded by The Los Angeles Times as “Fun and Funny,” and People Magazine as “One of Summer TV’s bright spots,” was developed by Peter Tolan along with Jim Gaffigan and his wife, Jeannie, who both also serve as executive producers and showrunners. The single-camera comedy co-stars Ashley Williams, Michael Ian Black, and Adam Goldberg and revolves around one man’s struggle to balance fatherhood, stand-up comedy and an insatiable appetite.

Jim Gaffigan’s fourth special (“Beyond the Pale” -2006, “King Baby” -2009, “Mr. Universe” -2012), “Obsessed” premiered on Comedy Central in 2014 and the DVD/CD was released soon after by Comedy Central Records.  Obsessed premiered at #1 on iTunes which marked the fifth time Jim Gaffigan reached the Top 25 Comedy category on iTunes. The album also earned a nomination for ‘Best Comedy Album of the Year’ at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

In 2013, Jim’s first book, Dad Is Fat, was released by Crown Publishing and debuted at #5 on The New York Times Bestseller’s List and remained on the list for 17 weeks.  His second book, Food: A Love Story, was released in the fall of 2014 and debuted at #3 on The New York Times Bestseller’s List.

Jim has also guest starred on many television comedies and dramas, ranging from “Portlandia” to HBO's cult hits “Flight of the Concords” and “Bored to Death” to dramatic roles in all three versions of “Law & Order.”
