WILMINGTON — A comedian with worldwide fanfare is headed to the Live Oak Bank Pavilion stage.

Jim Gaffigan has been announced for his “Everything is Wonderful!” tour to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Aug. 14.

Gaffigan — regarded as a clean comic — centers his material on fatherhood, laziness, food, religion and other world observations. He’s co-created “The Jim Gaffigan Show,” appeared in numerous series (“Flight of the Conchords,” “Fargo”) and films (“Chappaquiddick” and the locally shot “Greedy People”) and has penned two memoirs, including “Dad is Fat” and “Food: A Love Story.”

The comedian has released more than a dozen comedy albums to date, including 2024’s “The Skinny.” Most recently, he has become known for his editorial segments on “CBS Sunday Mornings,” delving into various topics such as “When will it be safe to retire from parenting” and “how did this happen?!”

Tickets to his show go on sale Friday, May 1, 10 a.m.
