Gaffigan also performed at the 2013 CNN Heroes event, which celebrates everyday heroes doing extraordinary work around the world. In May 2014, Gaffigan performed at the Make It Right Gala, an organization founded by Brad Pitt, which builds sustainable homes and buildings for communities in need. On September 26, 2015, he performed at the Festival of Families, a Catholic event held in Philadelphia. Gaffigan was the only comedian on the bill at the festival, and the event was visited by Pope Francis. The event had more than one million attendees. As of June 2016, Gaffigan was the most popular comic on all of Pandora.com with over 647 million spins. In 2016, Gaffigan embarked on his Fully Dressed Tour, performing in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
