Editorial Reviews:

Album Description
Jim's cutting edge, clever, quiet style has earned him an unprecedented number of appearances on both Letterman and Conan O'Brien. His special, "Comedy Central Presents: Jim Gaffigan", remains one of the highest rated for all stand up specials on the network. He's a national club staple, and for the past two years has had recurring roles on "That '70s Show" and "Ed". He's also appeared in more than two dozen feature films ranging from big budget ("Three Kings", "Road Trip") to indie ("Final", "Igby Goes Down", "Entropy"). "Doin' My Time" puts all of his classic material on one CD from a one night stand in Seattle, and the DVD compiles his best Comedy Central performances, including the highly rated "Comedy Central Presents".

3 out of 5 stars Enjoyed the DVD; Disappointed with the CD   September 6, 2008
  1 out of 2 found this review helpful

Okay, first I will say that we REALLY enjoyed the DVD. We had not seen that particular act before. It was very funny.
Now as for the CD, well, I am disappointed in Amazon because NO WHERE in the product description does it state that this CD has explicit content. When I got it in the mail the CD had a PARENTAL ADVISORY label on it that shocked me. Since we own Beyond the Pale and love it, I figured this one would be fine. Nope. I debated about opening it. I really considered returning it. But, I ended up opening it and listening to it. I lost count how many times he drops the F word. I guess the other material I have heard from him must have been edited - either he held back due to the audience he was playing for or the people putting out the material edited it. I would never have purchased it if I had known what the content was. I feel like I was tricked.



5 out of 5 stars One Of The Best Comedians Out There   June 19, 2008
This is one of those things you throw on when you need to come out of a funk; Always funny no matter how much you hear the material. I am not huge on most comedy albums, but to hear Jim ramble on about hot pockets and being lazy is a pure joy. From guys drinking KFC gravy to his umbrella theory, this CD is packed wall to wall with great, fresh material. While not for everyone(he has a style you either like or you don't...), those unfamiliar w/him should check it out...Plus the bonus DVD of his first Comedy Central concert and other stand up routines is priceless. A great deal too! Pretty much timeless material. I could relate to much of what he was talking about. I think he is one of the funniest guys out there!!


5 out of 5 stars VERY Funny!   January 18, 2008
I wasn't really familiar with Jim Gaffigan when I made this purchase. The reviews were right on. This guy is very funny while keeping it relatively clean. Very talented. It appeared as if there was only an audio CD included with the purchase but to my surprise, there was also a DVD.


5 out of 5 stars Great turnaround   January 14, 2008
Product showed up before I ordered it (well, it almost seemed that way: incredible turnaround)! Now that's service. And if it's Gaffigan, it's got to be funny. Thanks!


5 out of 5 stars Jim is always funny.   January 14, 2008
He is just as good as Brian Regan. If you know your comics then you already have this cd bought.
