Jim Norton (special event) at Improv Paradise Live
New Jersey native Jim Norton is best known for his unique point of view and outspoken humor. As a comedian he has toured the country performing in front of sold out crowds. He is a New York Times best-selling author, radio personality, and television host. Each day Jim is listened to by millions of devoted fans on the Opie & Anthony Radio Show for Sirius/XM Radio. Jim is a frequent guest on the late night talk show circuit including The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Jimâs first book, HAPPY ENDINGS: The Tales of a Meaty-Breasted Zilch was published in July 2007. The New York Times best-seller is a collection of Jimâs personal journal entries, raunchy sex stories, embarrassing star sightings, and pathetic childhood memories. Jimâs second book, I Hate Your Guts, also became a New York Times best-seller upon its release in November 2008.
On television, Jim hosts HBOâs Down and Dirty with Jim Norton. Premiering in late September, Down and Dirty showcases new stand-up comedians. Jim was most recently seen in Monster Rain, his one-hour HBO stand-up show. He also starred in HBOâs Lucky Louie as well as in Comedy Centralâs Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn. He has performed on The Tonight Show and The Late Show with David Letterman, had a half-hour special on HBOâs One Night Stand, and has been featured on both Jimmy Kimmel Live and Last Call with Carson Daly.
In addition to radio, books, TV and touring, Jim has released two CDâs of his stand-up comedy: 2002âs Yellow Discipline and 2003âs Trinkets I Own Made From Gorilla Hands.
Jimâs first inkling of becoming a comedian came at age 12 when he saw Richard Pryorâs special Richard Pryor: Live in Concert. He wound up in rehab at 17, dropped out of high school the next year, then started signing up for open-mic nights at local bars at 21. Often pegged as an âangry comicâ because of his raunchy brand of humor, Jim argues the only labels in comedy that truly matter are âfunny,â âoriginal,â and âhack.â
