Jim Gaffigan has releases a new promo for his upcoming comedy tour CONTAGIOUS. The tour will stop in Chicago, Seattle, Los Angeles and more. Check it out below!

Jim Gaffigan is a Grammy-nominated comedian, New York Times best selling author, top touring performer, and multiplatinum-selling father of five. The pre-order for "Obsessed," his fourth one-hour special ("Beyond the Pale" 2006, "King Baby" 2009, "Mr. Universe" 2012), has already charted #1 on iTunes, which gives Gaffigan five albums in the Top 25 Comedy category on iTunes.

In May 2013, Gaffigan's first book, Dad is Fat, was released by Crown Publishing and debuted at #5 on the New York Times best seller's list and remained on the list for 17 weeks. Gaffigan has had breakout guest appearances on many comedies and dramas ranging from "Portlandia" to HBO's cult hits "Flight of the Concords" and "Bored to Death," as well as dramatic roles in all three versions of "Law & Order." In recent years, Gaffigan has also become a mainstay on the big screen with memorable roles in "Going the Distance," "Away We Go," and "It's Kind of a Funny Story."

Further broadening his career, Gaffigan recently starred in his first Broadway production, "That Championship Season," alongside Chris Noth, Brian Cox, Jason Patric, and Kiefer Sutherland. He is currently on a 50-city national tour called Jim Gaffigan: The White Bread Tour.
