Comedy Dynamics announced it will release Jim Gaffigan's latest stand up album, Cinco, on iTunes, Apple Music, Google Play, Spotify and all digital audio retailers just in time for Father's Day on June 13th, 2017. The CD version will include additional track commentary from Jim and his wife, Jeannie Gaffigan, who co-wrote, directed, and executive produced Cinco. "I can't think of a better Father's Day gift than my album, Cinco. I sure hope my kids are thoughtful enough to get it for me," said Jim Gaffigan.

Gaffigan recently announced his latest world arena tour Noble Ape, which includes shows in Paris, Halifax, Tel Aviv, Auckland, Wellington, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and more with tickets available at http://www.jimgaffigan.com/tour-dates.

In Cinco, Gaffigan explores why cable news anchors have to be so attractive, the pointlessness of hiking, and America's fascination with pickup trucks. This is the fifth stand up special from Grammy nominated Gaffigan. His first four specials include Beyond the Pale -2006, King Baby -2009, Mr. Universe -2012 and Obsessed -2014. Obsessed premiered at #1 on iTunes which marked the fifth time Gaffigan reached the Top 25 Comedy category on iTunes. The album also earned a nomination for 'Best Comedy Album of the Year' at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

2017 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Gaffigan, who will be seen in six feature films this year, including two dramas with IFC Films/Showtime's Chuck (Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts) and Apex Entertainment's Chappaquiddick (Jason Clarke, Ed Helms, Bruce Dern, Kate Mara). He will also co-star in Bron Studio's comedy Drunk Parents (Alec Baldwin, Salma Hayek), Weinstein's animated comedy, The Guardian Brothers Brother (Meryl Steep, Nicole Kidman, Ed Norton), and will play the lead in Original Force Animation's Duck Duck Goose (Carl Reiner, Stephen Fry) as well as Cold Iron Picture's comedy, You Can Choose Your Family. Earlier this year, Gaffigan debuted his fifth stand up special on Netflix with Cinco. Netflix also acquired the rights to Gaffigan's previous four specials in an unprecedented deal.

Comedy Dynamics, a Nacelle company, is the largest independent stand-up comedy production and distribution company, producing Kevin Hart's Guide to Black History for History, Animal Planet's Animal Nation with Anthony Anderson, the new scripted comedy on Seeso, There's ... Johnny, History's Join Or Die with Craig Ferguson, MTV2's Wild 'N On Tour, Hulu's Coming To The Stage, and MTV's Spooning with...Zac Efron. The company has worked with a wide-range of established and emerging comedic talent including Kevin Hart, Louis C.K., Aziz Ansari, Jim Gaffigan, Katt Williams and many more.

In 2015, Jim became one of only ten comedians in history to sell out the famed Madison Square Garden arena for the finale of his Contagious tour and he opened for Pope Francis in front of one million+ people in Philadelphia, during his the Pope's visit to the US. In 2016 Gaffigan was named one of the world's highest grossing comedians by Forbes, and streaming site Pandora announced Gaffigan as their most popular comic with over 647 million spins to date.

Comedy Dynamics Records' album Louis C.K. Live At Madison Square Garden won the Grammy for Best Comedy Album in 2016. In total, eight of Comedy Dynamics' albums produced between 2013-2015 have been Grammy-nominated.
