Jim Gaffigan has been making Americans feel good about their worst habits for thirty-some years — the Hot Pocket at midnight, the couch you promised yourself you’d leave, the fourth helping you took anyway — and the version of him you’ll get on the Everything Is Wonderful! tour is the one who has opinions about appetite suppressants and what it takes to raise teenagers. He brings that show to the Majestic Theatre San Antonio on Saturday, November 21, 2026, at 8:00 PM.
About Jim Gaffigan
Born in Indiana in 1966, Gaffigan left for New York City in 1990 and built one of the most durable careers in American stand-up comedy. His work has always run clean — genuinely clean, not sanitized — which means the room laughs together regardless of who’s in it. The inner-voice technique he’s made famous, that quiet deadpan aside that arrives a beat after the main joke, is something you either grasp on the page or you hear it live once and never un-hear it after.
His most recent special, The Skinny (2024), was Hulu’s first original stand-up comedy special. It generated nearly 100 million clip views online. The New York Times called his 2023 special Dark Pale “his best yet.” Gaffigan is a multiple-Grammy-nominated, three-time Emmy-winning comedian and a two-time New York Times bestselling author — prolific being, perhaps, the most precise word for what he is and has consistently been.
The Everything Is Wonderful! tour was originally scheduled for San Antonio in April 2026. The November 21 date is the rescheduled performance. If the title is any indication of his current state of mind, the delay has been absorbed with characteristic equanimity.
The Majestic Theatre
The Majestic opened on June 14, 1929. John Eberson designed it in the atmospheric style — Spanish Colonial Revival with Baroque and Mediterranean flourishes — and on opening night, Jimmie Rodgers took 18 curtain calls in a room that was then the largest movie house in the South and the second largest in the nation. Cab Calloway played here in 1934. Harry Belafonte and Tony Bennett have been through. The San Antonio Symphony called the Majestic home until 2014.
The city of San Antonio purchased the theater in 1988; a $4.5 million restoration completed the following year. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993. The ceiling is still painted blue, and the light bulbs still simulate a sky full of stars overhead. For a comedian who works in the deadpan register — where the room needs to be quiet enough to hear the aside — the acoustics under that ceiling earn their keep. The Majestic holds 2,264 seats, and it has a way of making each one feel closer to the stage than the math suggests.
The theater sits in downtown San Antonio near the Alamo and River Walk, at 224 E. Houston Street.
