Jim Norton: Please Be Offended

2012 · 60 min

A rapid-fire stand-up set that feels like a provocateur gleefully poking at outrage culture, with blunt, adult humor and little downtime.

Overview: Caustic comedian and best-selling author Jim Norton pulls no punches in his first EPIX comedy special, going after jaw-dropping laughs not intended for the faint of heart. Among his targets: the national hypersensitivity epidemic - leading celebrities, talking heads and regular Joes alike to get offended by just about anything. Norton's got a message for those people, and it's in the title.
