Whether feeding mice to a pet snake, painting X-rated scenes on cars, or inviting us into his hospital room to watch his own testicular cancer surgery, Tom Green delights in making his audience squirm. The comedian got his start doing standup and college radio before becoming a pop-culture figure in 1999 with MTV’s The Tom Green Show. He went on to record the novelty hit “The Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” and appear in several films, most notably Road Trip and Freddy Got Fingered.

He currently hosts the talk show Tom Green’s House Tonight on his official website, and late last year, he returned to standup for the first time since he was a teenager. Want to see Green live and hear his offbeat take on life? Get your bum-bum to the Fort Lauderdale Improv, located at 5700 Seminole Way in Davie. Tickets cost $23.32 plus a $2.50 service charge. Contact the box office at 954-981-5653.
