Tom Green: Stompin' Comedy Tour

November 7, the Royal Theatre

COMEDY Depending on your tastes, Tom Green's ultra-low-budget shock comedy was either the best or the worst thing on late-'90s TV. His show started on Ottawa community television, was picked up by Comedy Central and eventually landed a home on MTV. It led to a storied career: besides fellating cow udders for entertainment value, he also briefly married Drew Barrymore, appeared on The Celebrity Apprentice and started an internet talk show that reportedly inspired Joe Rogan to launch his podcast empire. In honour of Green's November 7 stand-up show at the Royal, here are the six wildest moments from his legendary career.

Award-Winning Rapper

Before Tom Green was Tom Green, he was MC Bones, the rapper with three-white-guy troupe Organized Rhyme. In 1992, their first single, "Check the O.R.," wins the Much Music Video Award for best rap video and is even nominated for a Juno. And all that for a verse where Green rhymes “establishment” with “Polident” (yes, the glue for dentures).
