Jim Gaffigan — Grammy-nominated pale comedian, New York Times best-selling author and star of the upcoming The Jim Gaffigan Show — brings his Contagious Tour to the Taft Theatre. Gaffigan’s known for clean observational humor about topics like fatherhood, being lazy and food — “Pie can’t compete with cake. Put candles in a cake, it’s a birthday cake. Put candles in a pie, and somebody’s drunk in the kitchen.” It’s also worth YouTube-ing his rant on Hot Pockets, because they’re gross and he’s funny.
7 p.m. Saturday. $39.75-$59.75. Taft Theatre, 317 E. Fifth St., Downtown, tafttheatre.org.
