GOOD OPENERS, JIM SEEMED OFF

It was overall a fun night. Jim’s son opened, as well as Ted Alexandro who was really funny. Jim was funny too but not the same energy I was used to from his specials. He had a short set and about 30% of it was jokes about diarrhea. He seemed to end it abruptly and my friend said, Maybe he had diarrhea!

LAS VEGAS DEC 9

First time seeing him live. Although extremely funny, I was disapointed by length of show and abrupt ending.

THE NOT SO FUN TOUR.

I read the other reviews about The Fun Tour and I concur. I had never seen him live and I was rather disappointed in his lack luster performance, what there was of it. He was on stage less than an hour and then abruptly ended the show.

ALAS

Like Jim's humor and delivery, Norfolk VA act not his best sketches. The Mexico sketches need perfecting. Ideas were there, just rough at times and cumbersome. The delivery improved towards the last half of act.

WHAT HAPPENED!?

I absolutely love Jim Gaffigan. As a matter of fact he's my favorite comedian. But this concert was a big disappointment. Not only was it way too short but Jim seemed like his mind was somewhere else. He had no energy and maybe really did have covid? I paid $143 per ticket plus all the fees a huge price for tickets because I'm a huge fan. One last thing .. Jim did himself a disservice by talking about diarrhea so much. I've always bragged about him because he is so clean oo hysterical. One or two jokes about diarrhea is fine but this was over the top. I'll continue to be a fan of Jim's because he's really got something great to share with the world. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to share my opinion.

NOT AS FUNNY AS EXPECTED

We have watched all of Jim's comedy shows and they have always been belly laughing funny, unfortunately this one was not so much. I think the content was mostly the issue. Sorry Jim! It was also a very short performance. The warm up comedian was very funny.

DISAPPOINTING SHOW

We have watched many Jim Gaffigan shows on Netflix and laughed, but the show we saw recently in our hometown barely brought any laughs. Jim seem tired and not too excited to be there. and the whole show lasted an hour and a half with the warm-up. Tickets were expensive for the entertainment value. Won’t go see him again.
