Jim Norton at the Wilbur Theatre
By Chris Faraone

At dinner before Jim Norton’s Saturday nightcap at The Comedy Connection’s Wilbur Theatre, I commented: “I want to sit like Lincoln.” For anyone unfamiliar with where the 16th president was assassinated, I meant I wanted balcony seats. No shit – I really said that.

This was a passing hope; I’ve never in my life been blessed with such exalted digs, and I didn’t expect this time to differ.

Norton didn't just make this list because he's fat, bald, and repulsive. Opie and Anthony's third leg (as in giant phallus) wound up here for the same reason that we stuck Denis Leary. (No – not because he's an aggressive Irish shitnose who habitually recycles jokes.) Norton is unsexy because his book – I Hate Your Guts – is as funny its title.
