Jim Gaffigan
The Fun Tour
@Smart Financial Center

Sunday 8/29/2021 7:00 PM

A dry and clever American standup comedian who's hateful toward Hot Pockets and proud to be pale, Jim Gaffigan is a regular on the late-night talk show circuit and an in-demand actor and successful author as well. That says his bio at All Music.com, "His observational humor pokes fun at food, laziness, and fatherhood, among other things, and he is regarded as a "clean comic" who avoids using profanity. Since debuting in the early '90s, Gaffigan has released a string of acclaimed comedy albums like Beyond the Pale (2006), Mr. Universe (2012), and Noble Ape (2018). He has also appeared in dozens of films and television programs, and published multiple books of humorous essays, making him one of the most successful comics of the early 21st century."

This weekend he brings his funny man stuff to Sugarland at Smart Financial Center. Saturday (August 28, 2021) Gaffigan was doing his routine at the Walmart AMP in Rogers, AR.

In October he will perform at the National Association of Broadcaster (Radio and Television people) at their convention in La Vegas, NV. “After a difficult year and unfortunate hiatus for NAB Show, we look forward to celebrating the opening of the show floor with the ever talented and hilarious Jim Gaffigan,” said Gordon Smith, President/CEO. “His notoriously fun and entertaining performance is ideal for this momentous occasion as we reunite and reengage in Las Vegas.”

This weekend its Jim Gaffigan "The Fun Tour" at the Smart Financial Center.

The Fall of Afghanistan

One Kabul Resident recounts her experiences as the Taliban seized the capital and choas descended.

Produced by Lynsea Garrison, Annie Brown and Rachelle Bonja With Stella Tan
Edited by Larissa Anderson and M.J. Davis Lin Original music by Dan Powell
Engineered by Chris Wood


This episode contains strong language.

On Sunday, the president of Afghanistan fled the country; the Taliban seized control of Kabul, the capital; and the American-backed government collapsed.

There was chaos on the streets of Kabul as thousands went into hiding or attempted to escape. Among them was a 33-year-old woman — an outspoken critic of the Taliban who asked that we refer to her by the initial R for fear of retaliation.

“To the world, it’s just a city that collapses, but to me, it’s not just a city,” R told us. “There are thousands of souls that collapse, there are millions of dreams that collapse — our history, our culture, our art, our beauty, our life collapse.”
