    What a bummer

    by Disappointed on 2023-03-04UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    I love Jim Gaffigan. I love his Netflix shows. Frankly, I would have rather heard him use that older material than the new, lame material that wasn’t funny. I can count on one hand how many times I laughed out loud (which is something I usually do when I listen to him).

    Traffic nightmare, but amazing comedy

    by Redrover on 2023-02-22UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Jim Gaffigan never fails to deliver. It was a traffic nightmare to get to Ubc but once parked easy to enter the building. - missed half the opening act, but he was good as well, and I actually listen to more of him afterwards on YouTube - Jim Gaffigan was just so funny

    Awesome concert but would have liked more bang for my buck!

    by Big Jim Fanette on 2023-01-21UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    I feel the concert was too short! But I really appreciated the material as it was new to me. I even turned off the comrdy station when Jim came on for 2 months beforehand just incase it was the same material!

    Great Show

    by Smiley on 2023-01-19UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Jim Gaffigan was amazing, very funny as was the opening comedian. The venue wasn't great parking and building access was not good. It took us an hour to get out of the parkade after the show.

    Great show

    by Karen on 2023-01-19UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    We enjoyed the opening act, and Jim Gaffigan was very funny, original. The venue was ok, but the parking arrangements at UBC are awful and they should not host large events there, at least not until Skytrain reaches the campus. We were late because of excessive traffic even though we followed the suggestion to park slightly away from the venue and walk. Then it took more than 45 minutes to leave the parking facility.

    Short show and terrible venue

    by Stealth55 on 2023-01-19UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Jim was okay. I believe he was only on stage for 60-70 minutes, which was short. He left the stage fairly abruptly --> didn't really tie the show together at the end like he typically does. We thought there would be an encore but there wasn't. Venue was at UBC, which is too far from city centers. There is only one way in and out of the UBC area and it took us an extra hour to get to the venue due to traffic. Parking was confined to a single parkade. We were stuck in the parkade for 1 hour after the show due to congestion. If Jim comes back to Vancouver, suggest he holds the show at the Langley Events center.

    Sadly Disappointed…

    by K. S. on 2023-01-18UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Ive always loved Jim’s standup and I was very excited to see him live and splurged on getting third row seats in Vancouver. Well, Jim seemed tired and uninvested from the beginning. I was very bored with ongoing diarrhea jokes that fell flat for most of the audience, and the show overall produced little more than a smile from me. I’ve seen a few high profile comedy acts before and this one seemed to be done before it got started. I don’t even think it lasted 45 minutes when he abruptly said “you’ve been great, have a great night” turned and walked off the stage. My friend and I thought he was joking it was so out of nowhere. At least we got a funny 20 minutes from the opening act, Tom Alexandro. THANKS TOM!! I’ll never pay to see Jim again that’s for sure. Maybe Jim needs a break from showbiz.

    Good show - unfortunate venue

    by Monkeyboyk on 2023-01-18UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    Gaffigan was top-notch. His opener was funny, although it took a while for the crowd to warm up. I would have expected two openers for the price. Gaffigan's ~hour long set was all new and family friendly as expected. A bit less polished than usual. The venue was not ideal for the show. The floor seats were the interconnected fold out seats. I'm not big, and I found them small and tightly spaced. A big guy sat next to me and took a quarter of my seat... I felt sorry for those in the stands to the immediate left and right as I'm sure their view was blocked by the hanging speakers.

    good show but SHORT

    by Kim on 2023-01-18UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    The venue wasn't very well organized or signed. Everyone that had floor seats had no idea where to go and ended up lining up a few times with many others The floor seats were very close together and missed teh first few minutes of Jim on stage due to issues getting in. Jim was great but the show seemed to end very abruptly- its was like something happened? Jim was story telling - which he does so well and suddenly at under 1 hour he just said thanks very much and exited. To drive for over an hour - having line up for over 30 mins at venue to have the show barely see an hour seemed irregular. Still love Jim but not sure i would rush out to buy tickets again

    Too many diarrhea jokes

    by MAC on 2023-01-18UBC - Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre - Vancouver

    The warm up comedian was hilarious, caught end of his act and laughed till he finished. Gaffigan seemed to ride on his reputation, using jokes popular with children - diarrhead jokes. Turned real dark (death jokes, covid jokes) before more diarrhea jokes. Overall i stopped laughing for 15 min.. then it got good. He was overall 3-3.5 stars. I wouldn't go to his show again, even if it was new material.
