Jim Gaffigan | Dark Comedy From the Cleanest Comedian | Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out

Комедия

Mike met Jim Gaffigan in 1997 when he cold-called Jim’s New York City landline. Jim appeared as a guest on Working It Out in 2021 and now, between touring with Jerry Seinfeld, releasing his 10th comedy special “Dark Pale,” and raising money for the Georgetown Scholars Program, Jim sits down with Mike in-studio for his second Working It Out chat. The old friends go deeper as they work out material and discuss how Jim actually doesn’t like hot pockets, what item of clothing comedians should never wear, and why being married to a comedian is like having a roommate who is a conspiracy theorist.

    Jim Gaffigan doesn’t need to do crowd work because he already does it by himself. All those high-pitched asides are brilliant

    Love Jim Gaffigan, he’s so normal! Jeannie Gaffigan is just as funny as Jim, but, they have 100 kids she’s raising right now, so she’s busy. The Gaffigan’s saved my sanity during the pandemic, having dinner every evening on YT, tons of laughs and love and games around the dinner table. Thank you Jim and Jeannie! 🌺💕

    Jim’s Cooridor of Hate joke reminds me of John Waters take on Baltimore which is serviced by the same Acela line: "[on Baltimore] ... it’s outside the curtain of irony, which starts in Philadelphia and surrounds New York. There’s no real bikers in New York, only faux bikers. If you move to New York, just by moving there, it proves you have irony. But in Maryland there are real bikers, real hillbillies. It’s not a fashion statement. They’re not dressing like that one night of the week in a night club."

    I recently became a fan of yours because a friend of my husband told him that he looks like you, so I looked you up. True-you really do look like a younger version of my husband (cutie pie!) and now I am a fan based on your comedy, which is fantastic. I’m thrilled to discover this video because I have been a fan of Jim Gaffigan for almost 20 years. His comedy is so intelligent. I’ll be looking for your next show near NYC so my husband and I can see you in person.

I agree that they both have very diverse audiences because their material is so funny that it appeals to a wide range of people. Anyway, what are they doing at Georgetown University to produce so many great comedians. Both of these guys went to Georgetown and so did John Mulaney. And also Nick Kroll.
