Jim Gaffigan

Jim Gaffigan is coming to the Ryman Auditorium on Saturday, November 14, as part of his Everything is Wonderful! tour. He's playing two nights in Nashville, with a second show on Sunday, November 15, both starting at 8 PM. He's co-headlining the tour with Jerry Seinfeld, so if you're a fan of either, this is a good chance to catch them in the same run.

Gaffigan is known for clean, observational humor, and he's been at it a long time. He's an eight-time Grammy nominee, a three-time Emmy winner, and a two-time New York Times best-selling author. He's put out sixteen comedy albums over the years, so there's a deep catalog to pull from if you're just getting into his stuff.

On the screen, he's worked across comedy, drama, and animation. He starred opposite Seinfeld, Melissa McCarthy, James Marsden, and Hugh Grant in Netflix's Unfrosted, and led the sci-fi drama Linoleum, which Vulture.com named one of the best movies of 2023. He played Mr. Smee in Disney's Peter Pan and Wendy, appeared in Luca, and plays Grover Cleveland in season 4 of The Gilded Age. Back in 2015, he performed for Pope Francis at the Festival of Families in Philadelphia.

His recent comedy specials have been on the streaming side. The Skinny, his 11th special, premiered on Hulu in 2024 and has gathered nearly 100 million clip views. Before that, he released Dark Pale on Amazon Prime Video in 2023, which The New York Times called his best yet. Both are good places to start if you want to hear his current voice before seeing him live.

So, you've got two nights to choose from: Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, both at 8 PM at the Ryman Auditorium.
