Gaffigan is a Grammy-nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two times New York Times best-selling author, top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling father of five, known around the world for his unique brand of humour which largely revolves around fatherhood and his observations on life.

With sold out live shows at some of the biggest venues on the planet and iconic film and TV roles including his critically acclaimed sitcom The Jim Gaffigan Show, Gaffigan is one of the most familiar faces in comedy in the world today. Last in Australia in 2014 for the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival at the Sydney Opera House, this will be the first time fans in Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington can see Jim live.

A giant in the world of comedy, Jim is one of only ten comics in history to sell out New York City's Madison Square Garden, and has performed for Pope Francis and over a million people at Philadelphia's Festival of Families. In 2016, Forbes named Jim as one of the world's highest grossing comedians. Additionally, streaming site Pandora recently announced that Jim is the most popular comic among its users with over 700 million spins to date.

His self-titled, semi-fictitious sitcom, which was praised by The Los Angeles Times as 'fun and funny', and People Magazine as 'one of summer TV's bright spots', was written by Jim and his wife Jeannie who both also served as executive producers and showrunners. The single-camera comedy revolved around one man's struggle to balance fatherhood, stand-up comedy and an insatiable appetite.
