GIVEAWAY: Jim Gaffigan, Nov. 22-23, Fox Theatre, Detroit {ends 5/2}
*Disclosure: I have an ongoing media relationship with 313 Presents. The
opinions expressed here, however, are my own.
If you've been following me for a while now, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Jim
Gaffigan - although his comedy has changed a little over the years, it's
generally very funny, and I've seen him perform at Pine Knob (formerly DTE),
Meadowbrook, the Chicago Theatre, and Caesars Windsor.

This November, he'll be back in Detroit, at the Fox Theatre, and one of
my lucky readers will win a two-pack of tickets to see his show!
About the show:
Comedian Jim Gaffigan will bring his “2024 Barely Alive Tour” to the Fox
Theatre for two performances on
Friday, November 22 and Saturday, November 23 at 7 p.m. Comerica Bank
is the exclusive presenting partner of the Fox Theatre.
Jim Gaffigan is a seven-time Grammy nominated comedian, actor, writer,
producer, two-time New York Times best-selling author, three-time Emmy
winning top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling recording artist.
He is known around the world for his unique brand of humor, which largely
revolves around his observations on life.
Gaffigan is a top ten comedian according to Forbes’ most recent comedy list
and top ten earning comedian in Pollstar. He released his 10th comedy
special, Dark Pale, last year on Amazon Prime Video, an unprecedented
achievement for the comedian/actor. Dark Pale was met with critical
fanfare with The New York Times calling it, ‘his best yet.” Last fall,
Gaffigan co-headlined with Jerry Seinfeld for a sold-out multi-city arena
tour.
In 2021 Gaffigan released his 9th special, Comedy Monster, on Netflix which
was nominated for a Grammy® award. He was also recently awarded for
being the first comedian to reach one billion streams on Pandora.
Gaffigan can currently be seen as the lead in the well-reviewed Sci-Fi
dramedy, Linoleum, which was named one of Vulture.com’s best movies of 2023.
He also starred as Mr. Smee in Disney’s Peter Pan and Wendy, opposite Jude
Law and Yara Shahidi. He will soon co-star Jerry Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy,
James Marsden, and Hugh Grant in Netflix’s Unfrosted, and co-stars in Susie
Searches which premiered at TIFF and in theaters last year. Also premiering
recently, Gaffigan joined the cast of HBO Max’s Full Circle, a limited
series from Steven Soderbergh and Ed Solomon which follows an investigation
into a botched kidnapping, connecting multiple characters and cultures in
present day NY.
On the silver screen, his many credits include Three Kings, Super Troopers 1
& 2, and Chappaquiddick. 2019 was Gaffigan’s biggest year in film to
date with an astonishing eight films releasing, three which premiered at the
Sundance Film Festival including Troop Zero with Viola Davis and Alison
Janney, Them That Follow and Light From Light – with many festival goers and
press calling Gaffigan the “King of Sundance.” Gaffigan was also
recently heard in Disney/Pixar’s highly anticipated animated film, Luca,
opposite Jacob Tremblay and Maya Rudolph.
Gaffigan had two films recently in which he debuted as the lead. The comedic
film Being Frank, and American Dreamer, a dark thriller which features him
as a ride share app worker who moonlights as a private driver for a drug
dealer.
Gaffigan can also currently be seen opposite Ethan Hawke in IFC Films Tesla,
as well as opposite Josh Hartnett in Saban Films’ Most Wanted.
In addition to two seasons of the critically acclaimed semi-autobiographical
The Jim Gaffigan Show, which he wrote and produced with his wife Jeannie,
Gaffigan has guest starred on many television comedies and dramas, ranging
from Portlandia and Bob’s Burgers to the HBO cult hits Flight of the
Concords to dramatic roles in Law & Order.
Gaffigan regularly does humorous commentaries on CBS Sunday Morning for
which he has won 3 Emmys. In 2018 Jim served as master of ceremony at
The Al Smith Memorial dinner. In 2015, Gaffigan had the great honor of
performing for Pope Francis and over 1 million festival attendees at the
Festival of Families in Philadelphia.
Gaffigan and his wife currently live in Manhattan with their five loud and
expensive children.
