Jim Norton currently performs his unique stand-up to sold-out crowds across the country. His diverse audience experiences what Judi Brown of the Aspen Comedy Festival calls “brutal honesty” comedy. Jim’s first book, “Happy Endings: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch” was published in 2007. The New York Times bestseller is a collection of Jim’s personal journal entries, raunchy sex stories, embarrassing star sightings, and pathetic childhood memories. Jim’s second book, “I Hate Your Guts,” also became a New York Times bestseller in 2008. On television, Jim hosted HBO’s “Down and Dirty with Jim Norton.” Jim then filmed his own one-hour HBO special, “Monster Rain” in 2007. He also starred in HBO’s “Lucky Louie,” as well as in Comedy Central’s “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn.” He has performed on “Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and “The Late Show with David Letterman,” had a half-hour special on HBO’s “One Night Stand,” and has been featured on both “Jimmy Kimmel Live” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.” Jim has released two CD’s of his stand-up comedy: 2002’s “Yellow Discipline” and 2003’s “Trinkets I Own Made From Gorilla Hands.” Norton’s 2012 special, “Please Be Offended,” on Epix, earned him raves. This was succeeded by the 2013 special “American Degenerate.” He is currently the co-host of the popular radio show, “Opie with Jim Norton.” Norton is a funny, funny man.
