Age limit: All ages
Categories: Phil Cauthon Best Bet, Comedy
Description: He's pasty, balding and otherwise your typical wad of doughy Midwestern albinism, but Jim Gaffigan is a comedy rock star. The Indiana born actor/writer/comedian is a frequent guest on "The Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Conan O' Brien" (co-starring in the "Pale Force" cartoons with O'Brien), and has displayed his acting chops in series ranging from "Law & Order" to "Sex and the City." Although you might know him best as a Sierra Mist pitchman, Gaffigan's white-bread and butter is stand up comedy. His routine—targeting everything from Hot Pockets to his painfully caucasian upbringing—is profanity-free but bitingly satirical, so you can bring the kids and still laugh your kiester off. He's just finished his second Comedy Central stand up special, "Beyond The Pale," and is hitting the road in support of the broadcast, DVD and CD.
