Gaffigan is known for his critically acclaimed stand-up specials such as Beyond the Pale, which premiered in 2006 and King Baby from 2009.

In the official Dark Pale trailer, which was released about two weeks ago, Gaffigan quips that "sometimes when people find out I have five kids, they think I’m good at parenting," but says how it is "kind of like assuming people with lots of cats are not crazy. That’s why every dad on vacation looks like they lost a bet."

Dark Pale was shot in New York City's Beacon Theater and adresses everyday subjects such as food and parenthood using an amalgam of fresh material along with a few classic components. The highly anticipated comedy special covers funerals, family, balloon rides, and everything in between and beyond.
