You might have seen Tom Green roaming around Nashville this week with a little video camera in his hand and a lot of wackiness in his head.
There aren’t many things Tom hasn’t done. He toured with his own rap group in high school, painted his parent’s house plaid, put a cow head in his parents’ bed while they slept, humped a dead moose, survived testicular cancer, turned his living room into a television studio and created the number one rated and longest running talk show on the internet, “Tom Green’s House Tonight.” One thing he has never done is a world stand-up comedy tour.
Scratch that off the list, too, because the TomGreen.com World Stand-up Comedy Tour kicked off Jan 7th in Edmonton, Canada – went through Atlanta, Marco Island Florida and Louisville. Tom and comedian pal Shawn Halpin have been posting videos from the road to “The Channel” at TomGreen.com.
The shows have been very fun, with Tom doing jokes about his life and career – including the pranks he pulled on his parents, his marriage and divorce with Drew Barrimore; stories about the movies he has made; his appearances on tv as part of Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice; plus pop culture jokes and plenty of random sillyness.
The crowds have been surprisingly awesome, considering the big snow that hit Nashville this weekend. Tom’s fans came out in droves, completely undeterred by the cold. It seems like the only people who weren’t there were those that just kind of randomly show up at the club not knowing who is performing.. which has been kind of nice. With audiences full of fans, it seems like Tom has been able to take them to very weird places without losing them at all. The responses have been absolutely amazing.
If you haven’t made it out to the show yet, tonight is your last chance! Tom’s last show starts at 7:30, but to get a good seat, you should definitely get there early. Get your tickets now! The roads aren’t bad, but give yourself an extra few minutes to get there safely.
