It was very funny, he is a honest comedian and thats why he is one of the best in the industry. Keep doing your thing jimmy and you will go places.
too worried about audience involvement, talked about stupid this rather than do actual stand up comedy
8 of us went and only me and my husband were familiar with Jim Norton let me just tell you now he has 6 more fans we all had a great time we laughed from the beginning to the end of his act
Jim was friggin' hilarious! I've always loved him on the Opie and Anthony Show, but never had a chance to catch him live. I'd seen his Leno stuff, which is solid, but because it's TV safe Jim didn't have the freedom to do his more hardcore material - once you get a chance to see him live you'll be a fan for life. I haven't laughed that hard in years! LOVED IT -Uncle Paul
Great show Jim and I look forward to seeing you again soon!!!
Myself and my girlfriend had a real hard time not laughing so hard every few seconds. So amazingly politically incorrect, real, funny, great improv skills, a true talent !
To start the opening acts were very funny. It was a great lead in to a great comedian. Jim does not just run through a practiced stand up routine, he improv's, plays off the crowd, and has a ton of original material. I listen to him every day on Opie and Anthony and I still heard new stuff. Great live performance!
I had the pleasure of seeing Jim for the second time last night.....this time at the Wilbur Theater in Boston (which is a fantastic place to see live standup). Jim's scripted material was hilarious and perfectly delivered, no surprise if you've seen him before, he's a consummate pro. But, what I thought was most impressive was one point when a fan yelled out an "adult movie title" he was able to instantly step out of script, and for the next 5-10 minutes had the entire place in tears as he told the story of the movie she yelled out. And by the way, if you're the type who likes to "help out" during standups, be forewarned.......its kind of like the comedic equivalent of picking a fight with Manny Pacquiao. Jim is also obviously very appreciative of his fans, as he chatted, signed autographs for, and took pics with people as they were leaving the theater. A highly recommended show!
Once again he proved why he's the sweetest boy in class. This was my eighth time seeing, Lil Jimmy.
All I can say is WOW! Very funny! I went to the show with my Uncle Paul. We loffed and we loffed. I highly recommend!
Jim Norton is definitely in my top 5 of performing comedians today. He packed the Wilbur Theatre on November 27 and delivered a scathing set of brutally honest humor where there are no prisoners. Jim Norton is one of those rare comedians who sees everyone as a target and knows how to deliver intelligent, cogent, and off-color criticisms in a voice that feels like he's on your level. I had a great time and would definitely recommend catching his act the next chance you get!!
I never miss Lil' Jimmy, but this was not his best show, by far. Half the time he held the mic by his belly, and the sound wasn't picked up.
I only wish Little Conner could have shared the experience with me.
This was the second time my wife and I have seen Jim in Boston and as with the first time his performance was great. Not only does Jim have his prepared material but his improvisational skills and interaction with the audience was superb again. He is truely an amazing talent and am glad he is finally getting his due. It was also nice to see that the venue can now serve alcohol at the tables.
Hands down best stand up Ive ever seen. I have been a fan of his for a while and last night was the first time seeing him live. I suggest everyone see his show. Most of his funnier jokes are about dirty sexual experiences. I would see his show any chance I get.
Unreal, this guys is hilarious.... I couldn't breath for half of the show due to laughing so hard!
This show was absolutely hilarious! Would definitely see Jim Norton again!
jim norton was really funny as usual.the wibur theater is a nice venue but a bit cramped.
JIm was outragiously funny at the Huke Lau in Chicopee last night. He added some great new material and had two outstanding comics before him. After enjoying two buckets of ice cold beer with my wife, the show got even funnier. I can't wait to see him again!
