A well known
character actor on the big and small screen, Gaffigan started as a stand-up
comic and still makes the simple act of standing in front of a room full of people
with nothing but a microphone and making them laugh themselves silly the
backbone of his career. And why not? As this very funny performance proves, he’s
really good at it. His latest set has him covering topics ranging from his joy at eating at McDonald’s
to his experiences going to the gym to life on the road compared to life at
home. The situations are familiar, but the way Gaffigan thinks about them is
original and funny. The title may refer to the comedians lack of physical health, but it’s equally appropriate in describing his universal style of comedy.
The jokes are intelligent and will give you plenty to think about when the show is
over, if that’s what you want from your stand-up performers. Or you can just
listen, laugh then hope you friends haven’t heard it (yet) when you retell the
joke the next day.
