I was one of the fortunate few that got tickets to see this taping live. I've seen Jimmy perform on numerous occasions, but this was by far his finest hour. If you're looking for a great example of his work, look no further.

Jim Norton has two DVDs on the market: This one and "One Night Stand". While tha latter is really pretty weak compared to Nortons two CDs (Yellow Discipline & Trickets I Own Made from Gorilla Hands) this DVD has Norton back with his special "crindge"-edge. His humor is no-holds-barred, take-no-prisoners, and there will be plenty of people for whom his humor is way too extreme, but his is a very funny guy. If you like dirty comedy (Stanhope, Atell, Carlin and the like) you will enjoy this one tremendously. Still, a word of caution: i would still start with the CDs. Compared to those days, Norton has lost weight and is slimmer now. As glad as I am for him, some of his self-hating jokes are not possible anymore.

Mr. Norton is the funniest comic out there hands down. All of his content is original and is equally offensive to all races, sexual orientations, and Genders. Great HBO special!

The absolute funniest DVD I have ever watched. Put this in shopping cart, Jimmy needs the money for a whole new closet full of raincoats in case he gets stuck in a another one of those monster rain storms.

Simply the best. My Idol James Padington Norton has out done himself with this fine slice of heaven, it is not only hysterical from beginning to end, but also teaches lessons about life and love through out. MONSTER RAIN will have you gasping for air. (because of the fact that your enjoying such a good natured chuckle.) tee hee hee.
if for some strange reason you dont buy this dvd, maybe consider investing in a desert eagle, and blowing your brains out.

What can be said about Jim Norton? That he's a funny, talented, and sometimes brutal comedian. His set is constantly evolving, I saw him perform just a couple of weeks before this was taped and had seen him a few months before that, and this DVD has great material that was not at either previous performance or his earlier recordings. Both of his CD's and his previous HBO DVD are great as well, check them out. --Travis from Kansas

I've heard him on the radio but this is just too funny. Jim Norton just nails this performance. 60 minutes of tear enducing laughter.

Even though he insulted my grandmother, I have to give credit where credit is due. Jim Norton is a funny man, from any prospective.

This was the funniest standup I've seen in years! I recommend this to any Jim Norton fan. Aspect ratio is in widescreen, which is a plus. Just as funny as his HBO One Night Stand, but longer! Get this now!

One of the funniest stand up comedians of all time...Jim Norton is hilARIOUS and in his finest form in Monster Rain. From his simple ordinary childhood antics to his fondness for the female anatomy you will not stop laughing! A must for a fan of a meaty breasted zilch and O&A! FRRRRRRUNKIS
