10 Things We Learned From Jim Gaffigan's Reddit AMA
6. Lots And Lots Of Kids
Believe it or not, Jim Gaffigan packs up his entire family for some of his work. And not just for one spot show but for entire tours...
"Yes, we will be going on a 30 city tour this Summer. Jeannie and our 5 kids on a tour bus. The tour bus will be wrapped with a picture of my face. Interestingly enough, the image is the same size as my actual head."
How he and his wife balance travelling with their five kids...
"It's actually easier to travel when you're doing theaters because I'm in a city usually for one night as opposed to when you work at a comedy club and you're there for 4 or 5 nights. Twice a year we go on a tour bus with our 5 kids so that I don't have to be away from them and I can get no sleep. And Jeannie is not allowed to get sick."
And what are his hopes for his kids when they all grow up?
"I just want them to love what they do (aren't I great?)"
Yes, Jim. Yes you are.
