Comedian Jim Gaffigan to perform at JMU’s Atlantic Union Bank Center

HARRISONBURG, Va. — Comedian Jim Gaffigan will perform at James Madison University's Atlantic Union Bank Center (AUBC) on Sept. 26 as part of his "Everything is Wonderful!" tour. 

Jim Gaffigan is an eight-time Grammy nominated comedian, actor, writer, producer, two-time New York Times best-selling author, three-time Emmy winning top touring performer, and multi-platinum-selling recording artist. He is known around the world for his unique brand of humor, which largely revolves around his observations on life. His 11th special, The Skinny, premiered on Hulu last winter as the streamer’s first ever original stand up special for their new comedy vertical, Hularious, and garnered almost 100 million clip views online. 

Matt Roan, JMU’s director of athletics, said, “The Atlantic Union Bank Center was designed to serve not only JMU students and be a tremendous home venue for championship-contending teams, but the goal was also to create an incredible entertainment venue that would attract people to campus and our community by providing them a memorable experience. Hosting events like this is a key priority moving forward and underscores our commitment to making the AUBC a regional destination for entertainment of all kinds. We’re excited to host Jim Gaffigan and have him add to a special Family Weekend!”

“We are thrilled to welcome Jim Gaffigan to the Atlantic Union Bank Center,” said Curtis Stoneberger, director of the AUBC. “Bringing world-class entertainment to Harrisonburg was key to the vision for this building, and Gaffigan’s sharp wit and universally loved comedy are the perfect match for our stage.”

The show is scheduled for 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Free parking will be available in the Ballard Parking Deck adjacent to the AUBC, at 1700 Jeff Bourne Way.

Stoneberger said more live events and major shows are planned in the coming months at the AUBC and will be announced soon.
