HMN: Take a laughter break with Standup Artist Jim Gaffigan
I guess until last night my favorite stand-up comedian was Louis C. K., who is the favorite of so many people he is sometimes referred to as "Saint Louis".
But recently Netflix added two programs featuring a comedian I had not watched before and who is now giving Louis a run for the money in my mind: Jim Gaffigan .
I don't know how I had missed this guy before but last night I was laughing hard and out loud for most of two solid hours. Wow. I had forgotten how good hard laughing is for the soul; it is like medicine.
I wanted to share this discovery but just pointing to a Netflix link doesn't quite do it because despite the giant base of Netflix subscribers (75 million?) not everyone has access.
But checking Youtube this morning I was happy to find both the first show I had watched and even another one which I will happily watch tonight.
I don't quite know what it is about Jim Gaffigan that had me laughing so hard. I've watched parts of many of the standup comics available on Netflix but in most cases I don't seem to make it through to the end, much less actually laugh out loud through the whole thing.
So in hopes that at least some readers will get a good dose of the healing power of belly laughs here are two shows from Jim Gaffigan. This first one is the first one I saw.
Jim Gaffigan King Baby 2009 - Jim Gaffigan Stand Up Comedian Show
James Christopher "Jim" Gaffigan (born July 7, 1966) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, voice-over artist, and author. His humor largely revolves around fatherhood, observations, and food. He is also regarded as a "clean" comic, using little profanity in his routines. He has had several successful comedy specials, including Mr. Universe and Jim Gaffigan: Obsessed, both of which received Grammy nominations. His memoir, Dad Is Fat (2013) and his most recent book, Food: A Love Story (2014), are both published by Crown Publishers. He co-created and currently stars in a TV Land television series based on his life called The Jim Gaffigan Show .
The part about Jim being 'a "clean" comic' might give him a slight edge over Louis C. K. in my mind because there are certain people I would hesitate in sending a link to the latter due to their more delicate sensiblilites.
