Re: jim norton
Gareth,
Some times I think he's funny in all of his anger, but other times I think he's just angry. I also find that his thought processes can get shady and starts to make sense not at all. He gets a 54% approval rating from me. I'd rather see other comics on Tough Crowd, but he's better than some...like Keith Robinson...or Mark Cohen.

jane_haze,
I've heard a lot about Jim Norton and really want to check him out, but have yet to really see his shit. He sounds interesting though, and from what I hear, very dark. Is this so?

NickFlanagan,
I dunno. I really haven't checked into him *that* much. I've only seen bits and pieces of his stand up. I'm going mostly based on his tough crowd persona.

NickFlanagan,
yeah, he has a pretty good "i dont give a fuck" attitude. he will make some jokes that some comics would probably get a negetive response from... but i feel that his jersey accent, and the way he commits to what he says and really sells it... he gets away with it, and gets laughs. if you know what i mean.

Re: jim norton
Gareth,
You pretty much summed him up.
But now on the other hand, if we wanted to talk about [/i]Graham[/i] Norton, than I'd be all up in that. UK peeps back me up on him. I see he's snagged himself a CC timeslot. Yay! I've caught him on a few great radio programs such as Just a Minute and I've seen him on Tough Crowd. Funny and quick.
I am just happy that Graham jumped the pond...
