Jim Gaffigan is appearing at Manuel’s Tavern on Tuesday signing copies of his book Dad Is Fat. I imagine he would autograph a Hot Pocket if you asked him.
I didn’t know that. Thanks. I’ve read parts of Dad Is Fat. Very funny. Very much Gaffigan’s humor.
Nothing like a book signing where beer is also available. Here are the details on the Gaffigan event at Manuel’s:
