We went to El Torito for dinner where I got a cheap dinner salad and ate about 30 free tortillas with gobs of that lovely honey butter slathered on top.
It was good.
Really good.
Excited as can be, we moseyed to the Grove and anxiously waited in our seats.
Packed house.
Show starts.
Wait a minute… we’ve heard that joke before.
“He must just be doing some of his old stuff to warm up.” (We reassure each other.)
Another old joke.

Show is over.
We get 31 Flavors.
The Peanut Butter Chocolate makes me feel a bit better.
Dear Jim Gaffigan,
You owe us…
$100 for two tickets to a show you did 4 years ago (which can be downloaded for free on Netflix!)
$30 for our El Torito dinner
$50 for the babysitter
$250 Emotional damages for the curling iron burn on my neck that looks like a hickey.
I won’t charge you for the 31 Flavors ice cream (you’re welcome).
Warmly,
KN

Oh I heart Jim! What a bummer for sure…although his bacon rant is amazing!!!! Hearing it live might have been fun. Also your jacket is too cute!

Oh, man! That stinks. I think he is flippin 'ilarious, but come on, you're not U2? We're not dying to hear "I will follow." We need the new stuff.
I hope he send you a big check–with at least a funny (original) joke.

thats a bummer. i love him, ive seen him perform at least 3 times now. there are a few other comics ive seen that sprinkle in old stuff during their new show. but to have everything is a no no. im sorry it was a crappy experience 🙁

I second that emotion! Pretty hyped up night for a pretty disappointing show. At least I got to take a totally hot girl on a date…and let me tell you, she was smokin' hot!!!!

Awesome post.
I love how your 'rant' is still sweet and gentle.
junglewife says
That IS outrageous! I guess at this point, all you can do is laugh about it, huh?! Sorry for the disappointing show – sounds like the rest of your evening was fun!

He did the same exact show? That is outrageous! I hope his PR people see this post, haha. )
