Why see Jim Gaffigan?
Barely Alive Tour
As a stand-up comedian, Gaffigan's clever, quiet, and family-friendly style has earned him a a rapid rise through the comedy ranks, and he now stands as one of the country's most popular comedians. His eponymous sitcom on TV Land, which sadly isn't coming back for a third season, broadened his appeal still further, to such an extent that he was picked by KFC to replace Norm McDonald as Colonel Sanders in their TV ads.
One of only 10 comedians to ever sell out Madison Square Garden, he's a New York Times bestseller and a Grammy nominee, as well as a father of five (phew).

His humor centers on the shared experiences of family, marriage and observations we all share but would be hesitant to say out loud. He is an every man trying to make sense of the foibles of everyday life. His self deprecating style makes him easy to relate to.
The show was held at the Wolstein Ctr. just a tad smaller than the Rocket Field House. We sat in the handicapped seats which had a great view of the stage.
The opening act was a comic, named Ted Alexandro, He was very funny and , again, his material was clean. A great matched set! ... Read more
