The Tall Infant Jim Norton Is Coming to Buffalo

This guy friggin sucks...saw him at the Comedy Cellar in NYC. As usually occurs at that venue, there were 5 or 6 comedians on the bill that night, and everyone does maybe 15-20 minutes or so of material.

He was by far the worst. He doesn"t tell jokes. He just tells stupid stories that aren't really funny and he obviously heard from someone else. It was really obvious how bad he was when he was followed up by another 5 legitimate comics. Painful

Spending $23 dollars to see this guy is the comedy equivalent of spending $70 to watch the Buffalo Bills.

Wow.. Sounds like you have a personal vendetta against him.

I disagree with you. He's extremely funny and honest in his acts and is consistently funny every day on the Opie and Anthony show. He doesn't take himself seriously and, unlike what you said, original.

The fact that he's has had two books on the NY Times best sellers list, had an HBO stand up special, his own HBO show where he showcased other comedians, is on the new Leno show where he is a featured comedian every other week, and has a following that created such a demand for tickets that they added another show here; shows many that your clear hatred for him is not shared by most people.

meant to say "doesn't take himself seriously and, unlike what you said, is original."

were the wardrobe people on strike the day of the photo shoot?

He is generally hit or miss. He's not someone I would spend any money on, but not someone I would dismiss as a nobody. I've seen plenty of his stand up, and it's ok. I actually disagree with the article. It sometimes seems like he's going for the shock factor most of the time. Basically O+A were trying to out shock Howard Stern, so of course they had to embellish, and he was the perfect guy for that. My major beef with him is his character in Lucky Louie (a series I loved). His character sucked. Now I'm not talking about hating the "Character", becasue that would imply good acting, he was just really, really bad.
