What happens when lots of people in the same city laugh at the same time? A minor earth tremble? Lots of bad breath in the air? A general feeling of happiness that spreads beyond the metro area? St. Louisans just might find out tonight when Jim Gaffigan comes to the Fox Theatre (527 North Grand Boulevard; 314-534-1111 or www.metrotix.com). This comic is probably the only guy who is known for his comedy bits about processed foods (Hot Pockets, anyone?), and his inimitable style is grab-your-gut funny. Tickets cost $45.75 (limited number still remaining), and the show begins at 8 p.m.
