To promote his current Sexy Tour — which stops at Ruth Eckerd Hall — Jim Gaffigan released a series of humorous film-style shorts on Comedy Central that find the dry-witted comedian behind-the-scenes on the set of his Sexy Tour photo shoot, where he accuses various staffers of hitting on him, explains how the tour got its name, and generally makes everyone uncomfortable with his earnest belief in his own undeniable sexiness. Gaffigan does deadpan well. 7 and 10 p.m., 1111 N. McMullen-Booth Road, Clearwater, $42.75, 727-791-7400, rutheckerdhall.com.
