Gallagher has the distinction of being the first real star to come out of cable television. To date he has done sixteen specials: Uncensored Evening, Mad As Hell, Too Real, Totally New, That's Stupid, Stuck in the 60's, The Maddest, Melon Crazy, The Bookkeeper, Over Your Head, The Messiest Of, Overboard, The Leap Year Marathon, We Need A Hero, Smashing Cheeseheads, and the most recent, Sledge-o-matic.com. Nine of these specials are available on home video, and can be purchased on his website at www.gallaghersmash.com. You can currently see Gallagher's specials on the Comedy Central Network.
Being one of the most thoroughly calculating performers in the world of entertainment, he writes all of his own material, runs his own operation, and does over 100 concerts a year, selling out the majority of them. All of Gallagher's affairs are handled exclusively by his company's, Sold Out Shows and Fun Fun Fun. Gallagher is a self-contained touring business with an agent, promoter and road manager all in-house. For the last eighteen years, Ruth Ann Hoffman has booked and promoted all of Gallagher's dates across the country. Gallagher calls Hoffman his "Personal Promoter", which he says every performer needs. Due to the fact that Gallagher wanted to be in control of his own business, he took off one hat as a comedian and put on another as a promoter.
