Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan Will Embark on a Four-Arena Tour This Fall
Comedians Jerry Seinfeld and Jim Gaffigan are set to embark on a four-arena tour together this fall. I’m a big fan of the comedy of these two guys and this sounds like an awesome event worth attending!
Seinfeld said in a statement: “Jim and I met doing Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee and have been talking about doing this for years. We finally made the schedules work out. Can’t wait.”
Gaffigan added: “I’m so excited to help out this unknown up-and-upcoming comedian who many may have never heard of. I know it will be an amazing bunch of shows.”
The dates and places of the tour include Friday, November 3rd, at the Chase Center in San Francisco; Saturday, November 4th, at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles; Friday, November 10th, in Chicago; and Saturday, November 11th, at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.
Seinfeld’s next big project is a film titled Unfrosted: The Pop-Tart Story, which he also directed, co-wrote and produced. He also stars in the movie alongside James Marsden (Sonic the Hedgehog 2), Melissa McCarthy (Ghostbusters), Jim Gaffigan (Linoleum), Amy Schumer (Life & Beth), and Hugh Grant (The Undoing). They will be joined by Christian Slater (Dr. Death). Jack McBrayer (Hello, Jack! The Kindness Show), Tom Lennon (Reno 911!), Adrian Martinez (iGilbert), Bobby Moynihan (Saturday Night Live), Max Greenfield (The Neighborhood), and Sarah Cooper (Sarah Cooper: Everything’s Fine).
That film is inspired by a joke that Seinfeld has told in his Netflix comedy special about the world-shaking invention of the Pop Tart, which rocked his world. He wrote the script with Spike Feresten.
As for Gaffigan, he will release his 10th comedy TV special this year. He also plays as the lead in the sci-fi drama Linoleum and stars as Mr. Smee in Disney+’s Peter Pan and Wendy, opposite Jude Law.
