I have some positive stories about Norm.
At a comedy show afterparty, these women groupies came for Norm. And Norm, not interested, said, "Hey You don't want to party with a old guy like me. My dick doesn't work! Those fellas could probably use some company!"
And they did! They all left together and Norm just hung out with the staff.
If you ever met comedians, they're timid and shy, and often starving for attention. So to see someone like Norm MacDonald do that made him so incredible to me. Just super confident in himself.
His confidence was really something else. All of his friends in comedy describe him as "fearless" because he was never desperate to prove himself and seemed to just do whatever he personally thought was funny.
There are multiple stories of him going out and bombing on purpose, just for kicks.
I mean if you listen to his live stuff, a solid quarter of it is him bombing intentionally, then just antagonizing the audience. Its like whatever the opposite of crowdwork is.
crowdplay? 🤔
Crowd edging?
Crowd gooning?
crowd sounding
(am i doing this right?)
