Norman Wilkerson does stand-up comedy. He does it anyplace that'll have him. It's the one thing that he's truly good at. It's the one thing he still loves. And, for the past half decade or so he's been culling together a small but growing number of rabid fans from across America and abroad.
His comedy has been described as intelligent, insightful, irreverent, cutting edge and, oh yeah.. funny. It's also been described as patently offensive. You can't please everyone.
He's never won a contest and he's never been on Premium Blend. But, he does have the dubious honor of being included amongst The Unbookables, a list of comics compiled by Doug Stanhope and described as the would-be teeth of our generation, should our generation ever tire of gumming its food.
Norman began his career in the comedy Mecca that is the Washington DC - Baltimore sprawl, performing at Wiseacres Comedy Club (his erstwhile home), The DC Improv, The Baltimore Comedy Factory and the various regional shit-holes that host a comedy night. He's been featured at the self-described Comedy Hole in New York City, been heckled by a mob of angry animals in Philly, appeared with freaks and fetishists in Worchester MA and performed as an uninvited special guest at the Boston Comedy Festival. He's been well received in Appleton WI and less so in Jackson TN. Memphis seemed to like him. He's also entertained and appalled audiences in England, performing at various venues as part of The Manchester Comedy Festival, as well as the historic Royal Court Theatre in Liverpool.
Lately he's been living in Austin Texas, a move suggested by well meaning individuals who assured him it would be a boost to his career. We'll see.
Howdy Kingpin! I'm still trying to locate some of the brain cells I lost in the desert but most certainly your satan character made me howl with delight and was one of the party's highlights for me. Keep kickin' it in the ass Norman and I'll see you in Austin.
Senate to vote on your right to Free Speech. S 1959 has already passed the House in a landslide and now makes it's way to the Senate. Call, write and email your Senators today and tell them to Vote NO on S 1959...Freedom of Speech is at stake.
Great job Satan! glad i got to know you better this time round. you cracked my ass up and added so much to this adventure. take care and i hope i see you soon.
