SiriusXM Presents Jim Norton “Mouthful of Shame Tour” at The Ridgefield Playhouse

Fearless comic Jim Norton brings a night of uncensored comedy to The Ridgefield Playhouse when SiriusXM presents Jim Norton: Mouthful of Shame Tour, on Thursday, April 7 at 8 p.m. As well as hosting the Opie With Jim Norton Show on SiriusXL Radio, Norton continually tours the US performing live to brave audiences. He has been described as having no filter on what he covers in his show, so be prepared for an eye-opening array of stories that are rude, crude and will have you laughing hysterically! Norton currently has three one-hour comedy specials available on Hulu, including his critically acclaimed 2015 work “Contextually Inadequate.” Norton also regularly appears on such hilarious TV series as “Inside Amy Schumer” and “Louie,” as well as the Fox News program “Red Eye w/ Greg Gutfeld.” Norton has had roles in several funny films including Chris Rock’s “Top Five,” “Cop Out” and “Zack and Miri Make a Porno.” He also can be seen in several of the best documentaries about the comedy business like “Misery Loves Comedy” and “Comedian.” Make it a great night out with dinner and a show - Visit 850 Wood Fired Restaurant (424 Main Street, Ridgefield) for dinner before the show and enjoy a free draft beer with your entrée when tickets are presented. Jim Norton’s performance is part of the Clark Construction Comedy Series.

Crediting late comic star Richard Pryor with his decision to escape gang life and to enter comedy during the Nineties, his first gigs saw him open for established blue comedian Andrew Dice Clay, earning himself a reputation for saying absolutely anything. His on-screen activities saw him beat out competition in 2006 to appear on Louis C.K's show Lucky Louis as a true-to-type foul-mouthed character who shot straight from the hip. As well as this, Norton's 2012 special, Please Be Offended was released on Epix, succeeded by the 2013 special American Degenerate on streaming service Netflix.

For tickets ($45), call the box office at 203-438-5795, or visit ridgefieldplayhouse.org. The Ridgefield Playhouse is a non-profit performing arts center located at 80 East Ridge, parallel to Main Street, Ridgefield, CT.
