The deadpan comedic master Jim Gaffigan is back with a brand-new special coming to Netflix. His ninth stand-up special, titled “Comedy Monster,” is due to hit the streaming service just in time for the holiday season. This will mark Gaffigan’s 9th stand-up comedy special overall and will be his sixth special currently available to watch on Netflix with five others.
America’s most prolific comedy everyman hilariously jokes about everything from Billionaires to bikers. Gaffigan is a six-time Grammy nominee (Best Comedy Album) for his comedy specials and three-time Emmy winner for his work on CBS News Sunday Morning. He is also a two-time NY Times Best Selling Author.
Gaffigan wrote, directed, and performed the special in Minneapolis, his first since 2020’s “The Pale Tourist.” The special was produced by the Nacelle Company, with their Comedy Dynamics Records responsible for distributing several of Gaffigan’s comedy albums.
Unlike most of his contemporaries, Jim Gaffigan seldom swears on stage, electing his slow, observational storytelling style to speak for itself. One of his trademark techniques is using a higher-pitched whisper he calls his “inside voice,” frequently serving as what he assumes is going through the minds of the audience as they watch his performance, or what subtext exists in his own head while on stage.
Some of his most famous bits revolve around parenthood, as Gaffigan is one of the few to tackle family life in his specials without ever resorting to the tired. Gaffigan loves his family and that affection comes out in how he jokes about his family life. Easily his most well-known joke, it’s also a great highlight of what Gaffigan does best — win over audiences with genuinely smart writing and perfect execution.
