NEW YORK, April 7, 2014 - Jim Gaffigan keeps fans full of laughter as Stand-Up Month continues strong on Comedy Central with the world premiere of his new one-hour stand-up special, "Jim Gaffigan: Obsessed," debuting Sunday, April 27 at 10:00 p.m. The full uncensored special will also be available on the Comedy Central App the day after its premiere.

In front of a live audience at The Wilbur Theater in Boston, Gaffigan's obsession with all things food comes to fruition as he tackles a cornucopia of new food topics from fruit to seafood to donuts. Never without wry social commentary, Gaffigan digs deep into other obsessions as well, from underwear to weddings to not wanting to smell.

On April 29 the extended and uncensored edition will be available on DVD and Blu-ray and for download on CC: Stand-Up Direct, iTunes, Xbox Video, Sony Entertainment Network, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu and Target. Also on April 29, the "Jim Gaffigan: Obsessed" extended and uncensored edition will be available on CD, vinyl and as a digital album, which can be downloaded via iTunes, Amazon MP3, and other major retailers.

The Comedy Central App will offer fans who sign in via their cable or satellite provider the extended and uncensored special the day after air. They will also have access to a treasure trove of additional content from the #1 brand in comedy. The Comedy Central app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is available for free on the App Store or at AppStore.com/cc.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, Comedy Central Stand-Up and cc.com/Gaffigan will feature preview clips from the special. Fans can follow Gaffigan on Twitter at @JimGaffigan.
