Stand-up comic Jim Gaffigan is coming back to Atlanta to do stand-up for the first time in more than five years early next year. He now has scheduled five shows in four days from Feb. 2 to Feb. 5, including two on Saturday night.

He’s performing at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, which has a capacity of 2,750. Five shows there is about equivalent to the capacity of where he performed for a single arena show back in November 2017 at Philips Arena (since renovated and now called State Farm Arena.)

Not surprisingly, the shows on Friday, Feb. 3, and Saturday, Feb. 4, sold out quickly except for single seats. He added shows on Thursday, then Sunday, then a second show on Saturday, with tickets now on sale for prices between $34.75 to $94.75.

The self-deprecating, family-friendly comic in recent years has toured pretty continuously ― save for the pandemic.

Since his last appearance on stage in Atlanta, the prolific 56-year-old New Yorker has also pumped out multiple comedy specials including the most recent “Comedy Monster” on Netflix, which came out in December 2021. While the special cycles through plenty of pandemic-related jokes, he does so while also throwing in subjects like Catholicism, his five children, his absurdly pale skin, being fat and fans sending babies and cats that resemble him.
