Baltimoreans apparently need more Jim Gaffigan in their lives. The Modell Performing Arts Center today announced a second show for the stand-up comic and actor on Feb. 8, 2019, as part of the Quality Time Tour.

The set is scheduled for 9:30 p.m. An earlier set, at 7 p.m. that same day, has sold briskly. Tickets for the newly added show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m.

Touring in support of his 11th album, โ€œNoble Ape,โ€ Gaffigan, in addition to taking down Big Hot Pocket, has acted in modern TV hits such as โ€œPortlandia, โ€œThe Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidtโ€ and โ€œFlight of the Concords.โ€

And heโ€™s been taking on a lot more film roles this year. According to a release from the Lyric, Gaffigan has 13 movies that have been released or kicked off production, a range that includes the dramatization โ€œChappaquiddickโ€ and the comedy sequel โ€œSuper Troopers 2.โ€

And to think, one of his earliest acting breaks was as a pitchman for the Maryland Lottery.
