I know this post may turn out to be "the DEVIL preaching to the choir", and I may be completely off my demographic mark... but Comedy should transcend all groups of people.

If this was the 1960's the title of this thread may read "Comedian Lenny Bruce performing in Buffalo"... and those who would have been excited about the show would have been a handful of "hipsters" who enjoyed watching a performer on the edge. I am not saying Jim Norton is in that "Lenny Bruce" stature... but he is a comedian with edgy humor that could affend some people.

He can be seen regularly on the Comedy Central "Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn" program and he just came back from a USO tour with Quinn in Iraq, here is a gallery of pictures taken by one of the soldiers...

He was one of the crew of the now defunct "Opie and Anthony" radio show that were pulled from the airwaves because of that NYC radio church stunt. This is why I warn people this is NOT the humor for everyone. There is an intelligence to this type of humor that many people don't see, so it may not be everyone's cup of tea... matter of fact... if you sip your tea... there is a good chance you will not like his show.

I am looking for those handful of Buffalonian rebels that are also intelligent enough to enjoy edgy humor and may have been a fan of the Opie and Anthony radio show when it aired in Buffalo. That statement alone may put me on the fringe of the people who post on this board... but try and look past it.
