Comedian Jim Gaffigan is coming back to Salt Lake City, and playing in a very big room.

Gaffigan — a Grammy nominee, best-selling author, and star and creator of his own self-titled sitcom — will bring his "Fully Dressed" tour to Vivint Smart Home Arena on Friday, Dec. 2.

Gaffigan's semi-autobiographical TV series, "The Jim Gaffigan Show," recently wrapped its second on TV Land. His two books, "Dad Is Fat" and "Food: A Love Story," both made the New York Times best-seller list. He has a supporting role in the upcoming boxing drama "The Bleeder," which will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival next month.

Tickets for Gaffigan's performance at The Viv go on sale next Friday, Aug. 26, at 10 a.m., at Smith's Tix.
