Jim is my favorite standup comedian by far, but I felt his last outing "Cinco" was not up to his usual standards. Noble Ape delivers on all accounts. Jim's take on brain surgeons, his wife's cancer, the Pope and many other topics had me falling off the couch laughing.

This is another fun outing with Jim Gaffigan, a bit better than his 2017 special 'Cinco' and falling slightly short of 2012's 'Mr. Universe', which so far has been my favorite. Gaffigan riffs on a wide range of subjects, making even his wife's recent cancer surgery a topic of amusement if you can believe it. Lest you think that's a bit too irreverent, note that his wife Jeannie is a co-writer for these programs, so I think she approved. The gamut here runs from hospitals, genetic testing, fashion shows, and being a dad, to a weird piece of trivia that I thought was a bunch of hooey, but I looked it up. Never would I have thought that the Catholic Saint Bonaventure was the patron saint of bowel issues. More specifically, the patron saint of bowel disorders and gastrointestinal issues, relating to the saintly man's miraculous cure of a bowel ailment when he was a young child. How Gaffigan came across that bit of information in the first place is something I'd like to know, but in the interim, now you know it too. Gaffigan wraps up his set by mentioning how he opened for the Pope in Philadelphia, but for that, you'll have to catch the show.

Okay ive been on the fence about how i feel about jim myself but i laughed so long and so hard over this special my mind is made up this guy is pure gold he is a rare now days that does not need profanity to be funny he uses cable words like damn hell ass but keeps the serious stuff out of it i would buy a ticket if he came to my town just to hope for more good clean funny humor like the days of foxworthy and engvalve one of the best ever

The first show I watched from Jim Gaffigan was Mr.Universe (2012) and he got my immediate attention. He clearly has a good and unique way to bring his stand-up comedy. So Noble Aple was the second stand-up comedy from him for me and I thought it was even better. He's still pretty static on scene but that's his style. He brings his jokes with his different voices, almost like he's talking to himself all the time, and that clearly works, at least to me. He's a good storyteller, one that has your attention from the first till the last second and his jokes are just well thought out. The only way you could not laugh with his shows is if you have no sense of humor at all.

Jim is on top form. He proves once again that clean comedy can be just as funny. One of the few comedians that doesn't need profanity & shock value to make up for a lack of talent. A rare treat nowadays.

Jim Gaffigan leads off with some jokes about his wife's brain surgery, and it just gets better from there. He goes from topic to topic very smoothly, and makes each part of his comedy show funny and thoughtful. No politics, nothing nasty, it is always relaxing fun and humor. I really appreciate watching his shows, and I occasionally re-watch a Jim Gaffigan show after a stressful day. It is great for letting go of stress!

Jim Gaffigan is overweight with a beard and doing a show in Boston. His wife had recently had brain surgery. It's the launching off point for this one hour journey through his life ending with him opening for the Pope in Philly. There is less food talk than normal other than his weight and a colonoscopy. It's a very good show. He's been talking about a lot of these incidents like his kids in China and the Pope. It's easy comedy for the whole family.

I was a fan of Gaffigan's early stand up but lately wasn't too amused.. Don't like the tv show very much... But this one felt very very different. Jim was rather confident and the way everything was tied together almost amazed me. Great jokes, I laughed many times, loved the impressions... Well done!

(Flash Review) Jim is extremely funny and this one was no different; aside from that he was sporting a beard. He seemed to have fresher material; such as no Hot Pockets jokes he normally tosses in. He had some amusing British jokes about dentistry and how they don't use the word 'the' before certain words; like "I go to University." His usual self-deprecated fat jokes and his many kids were included. If you like his stuff, this will fit right in.

Some of the funniest jokes in this show is the medical one's. Jim Gaffigan could do very well going to medical conventions and telling his jokes about medicine to health care workers.
