Dad is Fatย 

Jim Gaffigan

Audiobook 5 hours
Published May 14th, 2013 by Penguin Random House

Jim Gaffigan is the perfect comedian for me.ย 

 

Even though he puts himself in the spotlight, I find him very self-effacing.ย  He makes fun of himself just as much as he makes fun of others.ย  He puts his wife on a pedestal, as he should ๐Ÿ˜Š, and tells stories that often make him look completely ridiculous.ย  But in most situations, I could put myself in his shoes, in that situation and so itโ€™s almost as if Iโ€™m laughing at myself in many cases.
He is classified as a family comedian but really, I think of him as a clean comedian.ย  He uses language that I can play around my kids without concern.ย  Itโ€™s refreshing that I can listen to adult humor around my kids.ย  And at times, they even laugh as well.
Jim and his wife have 5 kids!ย  Heโ€™s got great material for years and years to come.
I think audiobooks are so much better than print books for comedians.ย  You can listen to their cadence and delivery and often times thatโ€™s really what makes the jokes hit home.ย 
If you havenโ€™t yet listened to Jim Gaffigan on audiobook, I urge you to run out and pick-up a copy.ย  Heโ€™s so, so funny!

    I agree about the audio vs. print books for comedians. My book clud read one last year (when we could still meet) and I was almost the only one who liked it and I think it was 100% that I listened to it instead of reading it.
