I’ve long been a fan of stand-up comedy. As a kid, I watched hour after hour of stand-up – from MTV’s Half Hour Comedy Hour to The Tonight Show to HBO’s One Night Stand and countless comedy specials. By the mid-Nineties, when I finally got Comedy Central, I was in stand-up heaven. It was actually in a stand-up special on Comedy Central way back in 2000 that I was first introduced to one of my favorite comedians, Jim Gaffigan, who will be appearing at the Embassy Theatre in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Saturday, March 24.
Laugh yourself silly enjoying Jim Gaffigan
Jim Gaffigan is a guy with whom most of you are probably familiar. Born and raised in Chesterton, Indiana, he’s appeared on TV shows like That ‘70s Show, My Boys, and Law & Order and in films Super Troopers (a personal favorite), Away We Go, and Going the Distance. He has a deadpan delivery that makes even the most mundane topics, like food – about which he talks a lot – absolutely hilarious. If you’ve ever heard someone randomly sing the “Hot Pockets” jingle, you have Jim Gaffigan to thank.
Tickets are still available for both the 7:00 p.m. and the 9:30 p.m. shows; ticket prices range from $37.25 to $47.25 and are available at the Embassy Theatre box office or at www.ticketmaster.com. Fees may apply.
