Almost every year the Borgata sends me two comp ticket offers to see Jimmy. They do that for pretty much any show with tickets left too close to the date, so I'm always confused to hear Jim talking about all of his sold-out shows when a good chunk of his audience is there courtesy of the venue.
Oh absolutely. The waitresses are only allowed to serve you a certain amount of drinks per hour, so I've developed a system where after my fourth drink I'll go over to a table and give a waitress $40 to keep the cocktails coming while I'm playing blackjack. No tier points for that hour, but I still soak up the glorious liquor.
Do you have an ex police officer who has a crush on you, and you know it, hold a pillow with a picture of your co worker, who you absolutely hate but are too weak to confront , that you punch when you lose a hand at Blackjack?
Also do you groom young mentally ill boys who wear dresses?
"Norton had a great set that dug deep into pop culture, commenting on Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashians, Kanye West, and more. It honestly would have been dated were it not for his delivery. "
Jimmy's specials are pretty terrible, but I can't bring myself to revel in his failure. He's given me so much entertainment. Mimi Beardsley alone should give him a pass until like 2019.
" Norton had a great set that dug deep into pop culture, commenting on Caitlyn Jenner, the Kardashians, Kanye West, and more." .... This guy is going after all the tough targets BRAVO .... edgy and unique... and he never does that stuff on the radio
Why Little Jimmy is a failing comic: He hasn't written a joke in about 10 years. His last special was nothing but this shit about Kardashians and other E! celebrities. It's the entirety of his "act" (he has no act.)
Why do you think these successful comics will desperately do anything to land a radio gig? It pays a lot better than being on the road. Which is why Luis J. Gomez and Dave Smith are still appearing on TACS all the time. They don't have that $100,000 a year radio job like Dan Soder and Big Jay. Those level of comics would be lapping Antony/Keith's boots for $500 each a week to do a show.
If it wasn't for the show, Jimmy would have blown his brains out a long time ago.
Actually I take that back, he would't have the balls to actually blow his brains out. He'd kill himself in the most passive way possible, by barebacking enough tranny hookers to guarantee he ends up with AIDS.
He is comedically one of the greats. But outside of the east coast not very famous. Actually from where I'm at nobody really knows who Opie, Anthony, or Jim is.

Those really are figures from the deep tracks of pop culture. I haven't heard of them before.

Potential ticket buyers were tapped out after the crowd funding.

I loved the hot food, the magnets to hold the metal trays, and the real utensils. Lil Jimmy's Dinner Adventure.

I think it's sweet that he's trying to reconnect with The Opester by giving him an act he can finally understand.

This article is the most passive-aggressive thrashing of a person I've ever read, and I love it! The author CLEARLY thinks Jimmy's a boat act.

If Opie didn't save Jim Norton he wouldve ended up like Florentine, remember that time Florentine can't even pay 20k for his divorce
