I can't imagine what it would be like to be a stand-up comic performing to a see of cars. It would be weird enough to be in a band, but at least they only expect crowd reaction every 4-5 minutes after a song. Comics rattle off jokes, but without hearing the crowd laugh or groan or whatever, it's got to be tough. Jim Gaffigan is great at the self-deprecating style, so I'm sure he'll adapt and make it a great show.
