The Sheen Center Reveals 2024 Season With An Evening with Jim Gaffigan

The SHEEN CENTER has announced its official 2024 fall season, featuring An Evening with Jim Gaffigan on Thursday, December 5. 

The Sheen Center is a haven for the arts and provides a platform for provocative conversations about diverse and inclusive aspects of humanity as seen through the creative lens of faith and respect.  A place where all are welcome, the Sheen Center transcends boundaries to engage hearts and minds in the search for meaning in the modern world. Through compelling performance and conversation, they celebrate the creativity and imagination of artists and thought leaders in the pursuit of all that is good, true and beautiful.

One of the Sheen Center’s 2024 highlights is An Evening with Jim Gaffigan, 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 most recently appeared in Saturday Night Live’s cold open as presidential running mate, Tim Walz.

Gaffigan will bring his signature flavor of side-splitting stand-up to the Sheen Center at its 273-seat Loreto Theater. All proceeds benefit the Sheen Center for Thought and Culture, the place where art and spirituality meet.  

Tickets are now available, with a premium ticket option featuring an exclusive, post-show reception.

Shares Sheen Center Executive Director MARYLOU PAGANO, “We are thrilled that Mr. Gaffigan is returning to our Loreto Theater! Jim was a guest for a talk event back when the Sheen Center opened in 2016. Having him back now for his stand-up performance is incredibly exciting, and to benefit the Sheen Center and our mission is even more exciting. Jim is no stranger to the Archdiocese; he is a dear friend. And this October 17, he will be the emcee at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner, where both presidential candidates will be in attendance. We certainly hope Jim will have some stories from that event to tell our audience!”
