Jim Norton, the talented stand-up comedian who had a supporting role on
the now defunct HBO comedy LUCKY LOUIE, made an impressive concert
debut on HBO with his first comedy concert, JIM NORTON: MONSTER RAIN,
in which Norton covers a wide variety of subjects,including some that
are rarely broached by stand-up comics and he does it with complete
confidence and without fear of repercussion. Norton is a bold and
raunchy comic (this special is not for kids)has a way with a comic
phrase and has an uncanny ability for using adult language and material
for ultimate effect. He covers a broad range of topics including gay
sex, terrorism, relationships, televised gambling and takes some
marvelous jabs at celebrity obsession, taking stands on Brittany
Spears, Don Imus, and Michal Richards among others. Norton keeps the
punch lines coming at a quick pace,apologizing for the occasional dud
and, thankfully, doesn't spend a lot of time laughing at himself. He
has enough confidence in his material and his delivery that he allows
us to do the laughing, and believe me, I did and you will. A winner. (Excerpt from imdb)
