Dont know what to tell you, he was on stage with a beer in hand and could hardly even do his set.

Typical Edmonton, the anus of Alberta.

But I wont forget it.

Was that at the Palace? Or maybe when it was Flames Central? That's the only less than amazing Norm show I've seen. The crowd was pretty ####ty.

No, it was at the Laugh Shop on Blackfoot.

The last time Norm RIP was here I saw him at that place on Blackfoot.

Looking back he looked sick.

But #### he was great, dry deadpan presentation, long meandering jokes/stories.

You had to pay attention to the set because sometimes the punchline dropped 5 minutes after the joke ended.

A genius at work.

Yeah, Norm is the true goat. The joke was always king to him. You could tell it means a lot to him when certain comedic figures pointed to him as the funniest comedian on earth.

Strange as it is, the last time I saw Norm at the Laugh Shop there were also a few drunk hecklers that would just not shut the f### up. One in particular really felt he was part of the show the whole night, interrupting him and stepping all over the punch lines.

Norm was so patient at first, then he started to try and ignore it, then he finally just said "Man, you really need to just shut the #### up".

I have no earthly idea how or why he wasn't kicked out.

Need to normalize everyone throwing pint glasses of beer at hecklers head.

Like if people screamed at the screen of a movie. "This is ridiculous and offensive!"

Heckling Chapelle is similar to people who were slamming Calatrava. They are going to be legends for the rest of time and do not need some losers in Alberta to validate them.

It's not your show, it's his show and you are just here to see it and STFU.
