Jim Gaffigan: King Baby (TV)

Jim Gaffigan's seventh stand-up album/special, King Baby, finds the comic in a very comfortable place: riffing on topics like food and laziness with a combination of deadpan simplicity and meta-commentary from himself as the audience. It's a funny special that's sure to please fans of the comedian, and could also serve as an accessible gateway for any new fans. The greatly anticipated follow up to the platinum selling Beyond the Pale. In this Austin performance that capped off the 2008 sold-out stand up tour, Gaffigan does not let the audience catch their breath. This all-new show proves no other comedian working today can romanticize laziness and over-indulgence like Jim Gaffigan.
