Jim GAFFIGAN IS A GRAMMY-nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer,
two-time New York Times best-selling author, top touring performer,
and multi-platinum-selling father of five. He is known around the
world for his unique brand of humor which largely revolves around
fatherhood and his observations on life.
Opening wide on 11/22, GAFFIGAN WILL BE SEEN IN ENTERTAINMENT
STUDIO’s drama, Chappaquiddick, opposite Jason Clarke, Ed Helms,
Bruce Dern, and Kate Mara. The film follows the story revolving around
Senator Ted Kennedy (Clarke) and the tragic car accident that took the
life of Mary Jo Kopechne (Mara) in 1968. GAFFIGAN PLAYS DISTRICT
ATTORNEY PAUL MARKHAM, who was on the island of Chappaquiddick during
the accident and helped Kennedy with the cover-up. The film premiered
at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) this year and was
immediately acquired by Entertainment Studio for $20 million.
GAFFIGAN, who is one of the world’s highest grossing stand-up
comedians, is currently on his Noble Ape international arena and
theater comedy tour, with dates in China, Japan, England, Canada,
Paris, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, etc. This past
January, he premiered his fifth one hour stand up special, Cinco, on
Netflix, who also purchased the exclusive rights to GAFFIGAN’s four
other stand-up specials in an unprecedented deal. The album version of
Cinco, GAFFIGAN’s fifth album, became available on June 13th and
during that week, GAFFIGAN HAD 6 ALBUMS IN THE TOP 10 COMEDY ALBUMS
LIST ON ITUNES. Cinco garnered impressive reviews, with A.V. Club
calling Jim, “One of our most intelligent observational
humorists.”
GAFFIGAN WAS RECENTLY SEEN IN IFC FILMS/Showtime’s, Chuck, opposite
Liev Schreiber, Naomi Watts, Ron Perlman, and Elisabeth Moss. The
sports drama follows the true story of boxing champ Chuck Wepner
(Schreiber) who in 1975 went 15 rounds in the heavyweight world
championship against Muhammad Ali. GAFFIGAN PORTRAYS JOHN STOEHR, the
ever-loyal best friend of Wepner.
Additionally, he recently wrapped production as the leading man in
Cold Iron Pictures’ and Imagine Entertainment’s comedy, You Can
Choose Your Family. In the film, he plays a seemingly normal father of
a loving family whose home life is hilariously turned upside down when
his 17-year-old son discovers that his dad has a second family. The
film is directed by Miranda Bailey and produced by Ron Howard, Brian
Grazer, Karen Kehela Sherwood, and Amanda Marshall.
GAFFIGAN’s other upcoming films include the Bron Studios comedy,
Drunk Parent’s (Alec Baldwin, Salma Hayek) and the leading role as
the voice of “Peng” in Original Force Animation’s Duck Duck
Goose (Carl Reiner, Stephen Fry).
Last year GAFFIGAN AND HIS WIFE, Jeannie, ended their critically
acclaimed semi-fictitious television show, The Jim GAFFIGAN SHOW,
after two seasons on TV Land. The series, lauded by The Los Angeles
Times as “Fun and Funny,” and People Magazine as “One of Summer
TV’s bright spots,” was written by Jim and Jeannie who both also
served as executive producers and showrunners. The single-camera
comedy co-starred Ashley Williams, Michael Ian Black, and Adam
Goldberg and revolved around one man’s struggle to balance
fatherhood, stand-up comedy, and an insatiable appetite.
In December of 2014, GAFFIGAN BECAME ONE OF ONLY TEN COMICS IN HISTORY
TO SELL OUT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN AND A FEW MONTHS PRIOR, GAFFIGAN HAD
THE HONOR OF PERFORMING FOR POPE FRANCIS AND OVER 1 MILLION FESTIVAL
ATTENDEES AT THE FESTIVAL OF FAMILIES IN PHILADELPHIA. In 2016, Forbes
named Jim as one of the world’s highest grossing comedians.
Additionally, streaming site Pandora recently announced that Jim is
the most popular comic among its users with over 647 million spins to
date.
Along with Cinco, GAFFIGAN’s first four specials include Beyond the
Pale (2006), King Baby (2009), Mr. Universe (2012) and Obsessed
(2014). Obsessed premiered at #1 on iTunes which marked the fifth time
GAFFIGAN REACHED THE TOP 25 COMEDY CATEGORY ON ITUNES. The album also
earned a nomination for ‘Best Comedy Album of the Year’ at the
2015 Grammy Awards.
In 2013, Jim’s first book, Dad Is Fat, was released by Crown

and remained on the list for 17 weeks. His second book, Food: A Love
Story, was released in the fall of 2014 and debuted at #3 on The New

In addition to his own television show, widely popular stand-up comedy
and best-selling books, Jim has guest starred on many television
comedies and dramas, ranging from “Portlandia” and “The
