Jim Gaffigan never imagined he’d have his own children.

Though he grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family, Jim was satisfied with the nomadic, nocturnal life of a standup comedian, and was content to be ‘that weird uncle who lives in an apartment by himself in NY that everyone in the family speculates about.’ But all that changed when he married and found out his wife, Jeannie ‘can be someone who gets pregnant looking at infants.’

Five kids later, the comedian whose riffs about everything about Dad Is Fat from Hot Pockets to Jesus have scored an incredible number of hits on YouTube, began to tweet on the subject of the mistakes and victories of his life as a dad. Those tweets struck such a chord that he soon passed the million followers mark. But it works out 140 individuals are not enough to express all the joys and horrors of lifestyle with five children, so hes’ right now sharing everything in Dad Is certainly Fat.

From new parents to empty nesters to Jim’s twenty-something fans, everyone will recognize their loved ones in these hilarious takes on everything from cousins (‘celebrities for little kids’) to growing up in a big family (‘I always assumed my father had six children so he could have a sufficient yard crew’) to changing diapers in the middle of the night (‘like The Hurt Locker but much more dangerous’) to bedtime (aka ‘Negotiating with Terrorists’).

Dad is Fat is sharply observed, explosively funny, and a cry for help from a guy that has realized he and his wife are outnumbered within their own home.
