Norton in New Orleans
42 2016-04-22 by bourbon-poo-poo
Saw Norton tonight in New Orleans. His opener Kelsey Cook was alright, she's at least not telling "vagina" jokes like Schumer. Norton fucking killed it. I mean a whole new level. I was I tears almost the entire show. I've seen him multiple times before, but he fucking slaughtered the entire theater. Chip and Uncle Paul were there too. Fuck I can't believe how good he was this time around.

Fuck your guys' nonsense, i love norton. He annoys the shit out of me with a number of things but he is fucking hysterical in the right atmosphere. Usually not amazing on stage, but i think he could be if he eliminates some of the many vomit-inducing elements of his stage work. Peckahs.

I will never not love Jim Norton.

No matter what, he will always be our sweet boy.

He has his faults, but he's fucking hilarious and has made me laugh to tears so many times. For that, I love the guy. I've never called him the "worm" or anything, even though it annoyed me when it went down like it did. But how the fuck is that Jim's fault? Can anyone really fault him for not turning down millions of dollars doing the easiest job known to man?

It seems like Norton almost always kills it at live shows. Why are his specials so awful then?

Because he knows it's being taped.

Watching comedy live with a crowd is always 10x funnier than watching it on TV. Not a knock against Jimmy, happens to everyone.

I was at the taping of the special he did in Cleveland. His opener bombed hard and I think that really set the tone for the crowd. On top of that, his material was old by the time he got to taping. I also saw him at a non special show at a smaller venue and he killed it.

He does better in a club environment

Eh, take it with a grain of salt. You watch the specials because they're there. You don't pay for it, so you're a passive fan. These fools who actually pay to go see him want him to be funny. They're paying money to see him, so they're already biased. I'm sure he's the same live as he is on tape. Can't imagine how he'd be any different.

He destroyed. I loved that he had Chip go for a Will Smith shooting joke. The groans were audible.

I hope his poor widow was there just looking for some relief and the groans were actually her tormented wails of grief.

You seem like a huge faggot so I'm not inclined to trust your account of how the night went.

Good fa him!

I think seeing it live with a bunch of other people and everybody's laughing makes you appreciate it more than it really deserves.
It's like going to church and everyone singing, hands in the air, or some bs like that and you experience some amazing moment while in there. Then you go watch the video on youtube and you don't give a care.

Saw him a couple weeks ago and other than looking like he's got aids the show was hilarious.
2 glyde69 2016-04-22
I saw him last month in NJ. Good set without a doubt.
2 seriousxm 2016-04-22
and there's no possible way his show was any good. you must just love dick and tranny jokes mixed with some r. bud dwyer material.
1 telemecanique 2016-04-22
It's not that he's not funny, it's just that to a lot of people there are funnier stand ups and must of us don't get much time off from panera bread so we must choose carefully on how to use our 3 hours of vacation per year.

How big are the theaters that Norton is playing?
1 bourbon-poo-poo 2016-04-22
I'm guessing 500-1000 or so? The Joy theater in New Orleans was packed full.
1 NumeroOtto 2016-04-22
i crack a smile at his stand up specials at the most... i will watch the next one with hi hopes as i have all his former ... but as a civilian I feel he can't write jokes at all, it always seems to be about shock value, taboo language/ subjects and attacking an easy target .... he is funny, i love him on the radio .... but NEVER on his own, i find his stand up as disappointing as his other SOLO adventures.
2 bourbon-poo-poo 2016-04-22
Go see him live. I know what you mean, I've struggled with some of his specials too. And I have the same feelings a lot of y'all do about Norton, but he fucking killed it live. I had tears in my eyes the whole 70- 80 minutes or so. He was fucking phenomenal!!!!!!

I don't know. Kelsey was a 6 or 6.5 definitely not remotely "hot". Not sure why he drags them along. Maybe just good people he wants to help get exposure.

You are a baby ho.

Why is he so crappy on O&J then? Every interview with guests turns in Jim laying on the shrinks couch, revealing his perverse sexual hangups and inadaquacies. Usually most guests stay silent now and ignore his "me, me, me" bs. I dont think Louis CK even laughed once or acknowledged his drivel.
For these reasons, i will not invest in Jim Live and I'm out.
3 dukefett 2016-04-22
Louis audibly laughed many times when he was in the other day.

that's a pretty outlandish claim... do you have any evidence? maybe a recording?

But but but... don't you remember when that thief stole a billion dollars from everyone subscribed to this sub? How does complimenting jimmy make us hate our miserable existence any less?
