“A brownie is like an espresso of cake, right?”
 
   
Wikipedia: Jim Gaffigan
James Christopher Gaffigan(born July 7, 1966) is an American stand-up comedian, actor, writer, and producer. His humor largely revolves around fatherhood, observations, laziness, and food. In his work, he creates voices for characters in his scenarios to accompany his jokes. He is also regarded as a “clean” comic, using little profanity in his routines; and is further known for his deadpan delivery.
