Bite Me Tony Clifton!

By Libby Molyneaux

Published on October 14, 2008 at 2:21am

You didn't really think piece-of-shit-no-talent hack Tony Clifton — the polyestered alter ego of comedy legend Andy Kaufman — would stay away just because his creator is long-dead? Thanks to Kaufman crony Bob Zmuda, Clifton lives. One recent show, with the Katrina Kiss-My-Ass Orchestra, went over four hours until he cleared out the joint. If this, along with jokes about "nailing young pussy"; sounds like your idea of fun, you probably already have your tickets. Good thing it's a benefit for Comic Relief's Katrina fund.
