Jim Gaffigan: Cinco (2017)

Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jeannie Gaffigan
Cast: Jim Gaffigan
Time: 73 minutes



In his fifth hour long comedy special, the American stand-up comic best known for his Hot Pocket routine discusses weight issues, the American Midwest, cheese, religion, Hitler and many other topics.

Gaffigan’s humor is relatively clean. Even when the comic brushes upon a riskier subject, he remains tame. A lot of the material is funny, but my bigger issue with Jim Gaffigan is the voices. He keeps switches voices, either to comment on something he says or to incorporate various points of views in his routine. These voices tend to annoy me. That little segment with Gaffigan’s family to open the show, shot in horror movie style, was cute.
