His routine seems to have slowed a little since his last Comedy Central special. However, that should not be taken as a negative. Each syllable is packed with hilarity. Gaffigan’s routine is a breath of fresh air, involving very few swear words and about only two hooker jokes, making him a ready family favorite. Gaffigan is Everyman’s entertainer. Beyond the Pale is a mixture of memorable, everyday, and laugh-out-loud hilarity that will stick with you while you shop for toilet paper and all throughout your wife’s pregnancy. While white men may not be able to jump, or dance, this one sure can make you pee your pants laughing at a cake joke. Gaffigan is one funny white man.
If 70 minutes of Gaffigan isn’t enough, there’s more. Gaffigan is quickly becoming a man about Hollywood. He is a frequent guest of that other champion of whitey McWhiteyness found on Late Night With Conan O’Brien and has been featured on The Late Show With David Letterman. Gaffigan also created and starred in his own sitcom, Welcome to New York, which aired on CBS. This year look for Gaffigan in three movies, Stephanie Daley, The Living Wake and M. Night Shyamalan’s. Lady in the Water.
Beyond the Pale hits shelves on February 7.
