- R.I.P Norm. Greatest stand up comic of ALL TIME!! I've been looking for this recording for a while.
I thought this stand-up bootleg was lost as all links to it were dead and it is nowhere on TH-cam or google search, so I made a post on Reddit because I knew someone had it and here we are!! MASSIVE shout out to u/bananaseleven on Reddit r/NormMacdonald !!!
R.I.P Norm. Greatest stand up comic of ALL TIME!!
#NormMacdonald #StandUpComedy
This was performed at Cap City Comedy Club. It was the main comedy club in Austin for many years, though it no longer exists. It was in a random strip mall in north central Austin, not downtown or near anything cool. Right next door to it was this weird restaurant called Drakula with a very prominent sign, that also no longer exists. (Contrary to Norm’s comment in the set, it actually did serve Romanian food.) You truly could not enter Cap City without noticing there was a restaurant called Drakula next door, and it kinda made you go “wtf who would name a restaurant that.”
I tell y’all this to emphasize the genius of Norm; there is no way he spent any significant amount of time writing or perfecting all that Dracula/vampire material. That is literally him just riffing on a sign he saw as he walked through the door. Muthafucking goat.
He learned this from Sinbad.

In what space/time dimension that could happened?
Btw, do you own a doghouse?
@@professor_of_logic I do not.
@@JD-jc8gp Don't tell me that you didn't heard of Logic, logic....you know - at the University of Science.
@@professor_of_logic HAH?!
57:07 "I'm just an old chuck of coal but I'll be a diamond one day" Love you Norm. Make God Laugh!

thank you for this gem, DaRoachDoggJr.
Him and Paul Newman are telling jokes to God picking blueberries
Whether you are chucking coal, or in fact are a chunk of coal, you'll be chucking diamonds someday!
Some day not one but hey I don't have a cup full of acid
It’s important to spread Norm’s anti-cannibalism message
That's something to chew on.
Food for thought.
The picture with the Hilton hos, with his hands clearly clasped together in front, not touching, is just perfect Norm.
God bless
LOL one of them was Lionel Richie's adopted daughter, Nicole.
@@martinez-shaffer Lionel Richie had some good songs. He must be so proud of her 15 minutes of loose fame
Someone commented it looked like Norm has really long arms.
I hadn't noticed his hands were clasped.
He had the virtue of a monk, but swore like a sailor..
It's definitely worth sticking around to the point where he's interrupted by that hero.
No good samaritan you are the hero.
Oooh, thanks for pointing that out. I was wondering which set to watch next and didn't realise this was *that* set.
When does this happen ?
Sticking around? I was praying the set would never end. From start to finish it was amazing.
@@wiseguy8828 1:09:37
Makes me legitimately tear up hearing this. What a master of his craft. I know Norm didn’t have any truck for the sentimental, but his performance and the audience’s appreciation make it magical.
zero truck for the sentimental.
but a truck to pick up Kitchner Leslie's girlfriend
He did have a truck. A Ford F-150
I agree. Also, I like bananas, they're yellow.
He’s like Nixon

I was at this show, I remember the "have you seen a treadmill" lady. So glad I got to see Norm live a couple times, thanks for posting. I remember going to the later show hoping he would just carry on as long as he could at the end, he did not disappoint.
Where did you see him? Dennis Miller plugged his upcoming shows and noted that there were sime tertiary venues. Some of these bootlegs sound as if they might be in a small, intimate club.
@@rudolphguarnacci197what upcoming shows? He's a little preoccupied at the moment.
@@riley8704
Hypocrisy!
Thanks to everyone who was apart of sharing this recording for the world to enjoy. Rest in Peace Norm!
It's how you tell them.
Love Norm's slow, unrushed wanders into topics.
The audience are all with him.
Really great gig.
Yes, the audience is all in.
"I'm not haunting a fucking ditch". What a legend.
underrated Norm line.
Came here to say this. The idea of a ghost not wanting to haunt a fucking ditch was pure brilliance. His whole bit about ghosts is amazing. Norm cuts through BS like a chunk of coal through butter.
@@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool
Because that ol' chunk of coal turned into a diamond.
That's my favourite line of the show too! Haha
@@rudolphguarnacci197 Exactly!!!
Anyway, still miss'm every day, on account of he's not with us...physically...still hurts like a b*tch...
The Dracula restaurant bit at the very beginning is SO hilarious!
All of a sudden the mood changed
I’m only 25 minutes in and already I’m thinking this might be the most brilliantly twisted stand up ever!
This set is special. One of his best. And it being one of Norm's best sets makes it one of the best stand-up sets of all time.
@@adonirammccarthy3994what are some of his other best?
@@Sh0n0His ones from 2018/2019 are good.
Almost started weeping halfway through knowing there won’t ever be another Norm set. Thanks for posting. The man was and always will be a genius.
There won't ever be a new one recorded but there will 100% be more released. I still have a couple in my vault and I've heard rumor of like 7+ other recordings floating around undergroud.
was he good at math?
yes there is another Norm set... it's being released by Netflix at the end of May. Recorded right before he went in for surgery 2 years ago and wasn't sure he'd make it out... then he shelved it, then he passed and now it's being released
@@Anthony-qx1ps i should read all the comments first
@@ZennofobicI think what he means is dead Norm will not be performing at any standup shows
one of my favorite heckler takedowns
"not so easy when its the other way around
the real heros are the students"
HAVE I SEEN A TREADMILL????????
I keep coming back to this live show, cause I think it’s one of his best…and I’ve heard a bunch 😊
did you see the 2 i posted recently that have never been on the internet before?
same! his dracula bit kills me every time
I'm not haunting a f*ckin' ditch.
Do any of you know which set he does the death penalty bit? The last meal etc?
Also the set where he says every porn title should be “the greatest lady in the world”
I believe they are the same set. Any help appreciated.
This has to be my favorite. Maybe bc I’m Texan and he hits so many one and done thoughts out of the park with his experience in weirdtown, TX. So grateful for his family and friends who’ve generously collected and shared these performances with us 🙏❤️ thank you. So thankful for Norm 😂🎉
I really appreciate you posting these man. Can’t get enough Norm sets, what a legend.
💖
A good comedian can surprise you with a punchline. Norm can surprise you with the premise. He was in a class by himself really.
This is quite literally the gold standard when it comes to standup. Absolutely excellent. Norm was one of the absolute best at his craft.
I think he stood on the shoulders of Cosby, Pryor, Carlin and the like, evolving into his unique style. Or so the germans would have you believe.
@12:09 “I will hew it into a stake…that’s spelled S-T-A-K-E” I laughed so hard I shat myself. Real poop.
I like bananas!
Rest in peace norm, my all time fav
I’ve been listening to everything That I can find about the great Norm Macdonald .. very happy I stumbled upon this hilarious set. Thank you for finding it !
It was posted 6 days ago moron, you’re not stumbling across anything imbecile. its called an algorithm idiot
@@DamTheKid what does the algorithm have to do with that? he can still stumble across it hahahaha, it's an expression of speech. you needa go hug your mom, eat a cupcake, read a book and chill the fuck out.
@@DamTheKid You're fired.
@@DamTheKid Who hurt you?
@@DanielCPTrader
He hurt his vagina.
This was performed shortly after he was told he had cancer which he kept a secret until the day he died.
The last 5 mins I feel like he was trying to teach us all something from a man who knows his time is coming to an end.
Absolute legend and best the will be and best there was.
I agree 100%. Spending his last time here trying to reach lost souls and bring them love and laughter. I have no doubt he's looking down on us
Very sad.
modern day missionary
@@aaronreeder5753
Modern day philosopher.
1:11:15 "You know who the real heros are...the fucking students ,they're the ones who have to answer the questions ". Brilliant.
I love how every time he sets up the false premise/misdirection to hear the applause & gauge the potential adversarial energy in the crowd, before he reveals the Real Heroes.
Dracula, Wolfmen, Cannibalism, Landmines, Rickety Stools & Rope Stores, The Tarded Again, Jesus of Nazareth, Cheese Sandwiches, Marjorie, Whackin Off, and The Real Heroes. Norm is The Comedian. Period. Sound Logic or not. With or without a Doghouse, Mr. Macdonald created such an enormous amount of Love & Admiration, Inspiring & Entertaining Pathos that now there is left a void that may never be filled. Definitely not in the uniquely authentic shape of this Ol' Chunk of Coal. Hopefully enough people will continue to be influenced by his example and see the genuine importance of living honest, authentic and humorous lives.
💖
Beautiful 🤗
If this had been recorded as a legit special, it would be one of the greatest of all time.
I can only guess why he wasn't signed to do more specials.
So true. I’ve binge listened/watched so much Norm recently, and this was truly the very best of him in one magical set. He could not have been more on his game than this and it is almost tragic it wasn’t filmed.
What a master. You laugh you miss something, he's that nuanced.
My mistake was listening to this at the gym
I damn near died crying of laughter
Were you on a treadmill?
Dying
@@rudolphguarnacci197have you even seen a treadmill?
Don't let these bootlegs disappear
Thank you for uploading this. I've been on a real Norm kick lately. Could listen to him tell different people about his anti-cannibal stance for hours.
This may be Norm’s best set.
it has to be in the top 3 best sets available for sure. great crowd, amazing heckler bit, he says all of his best jokes that arent in his specials, good audio.
@@bubbyberry Any others you recommend?
I love his last set ranging about covid in Irvine , I’m an idiot for not being there
ranting*
@@kevinrhea7332 that was not his last set. everyone advertises it like that because it gets clicks
I'm so sorry that we won't have Norm around to entertain us for another 20 plus years. He just got better and better over time. The standup he did in the last couple years was so classic. I can't believe he wrote so many jokes that about "The Plug", Living Will, Doctors and Death. If anyone knew he was ill I can't imagine him reading that material.... The man was a true genius. So funny and so missed.....
Thank you for this set .. a splendid work of art right here.
The guy booing when Norm said women were superior was fucking hilarious. What a legend.
Imagine sitting an hour and 10 mins to Norm and you are finally offended and feel the need to open your mouth?!? Haha thanks lady and Norm 😂😂😂😂😂
"Normie Normie Normie, hockey Normie...Normie Normie Normie..."
I translated that to English. Doesn’t lose anything
@@wouldntyouliketoknow1477 I think youtube thought it was in Quebecois because of the mention of hockey
This is probably my favorite Norm performance of all time!
Its always a teacher that cant take a joke and gets offended HA HA!
literally the only time i ever had problems in school was when a teacher refused to joke around
You were one of a kind, Norm.
You have to admit, this woman really had a set of balls to heckle Norm
You could say that. Although, you could say, instead, that she had an exaggerated sense of her own importance, and was a little too self righteous.
Like a lot of teachers 🙂. That is one of my favorite moments in comedy, ever.
@@Anttys_WeyTua_CTa_Eu986🎯😂😂
That vampire bit. God damn. Norm was a savant.
A genius savant. Only his gambling was idiotic.
@@georgesotiriou7051 I think the first person with the vampire idea was Bram Stoker. Or VAMPIRES.
@@matttrafton2725 savant means gifted or exceptional. It’s also a term commonly used to differentiate the tiny number of autistic people who demonstrate hyper abilities from the others. He was right in his usage of the word.
@@wristocrat Never said it was wrong to call Norm a savant. I know what it means.
No you cannot rape my mother with a knife!
I hope my low i.q. brethren never wake up to the fact, you don't talk shit to a comedian on stage.
This knuckle dragger gave us twenty more minutes of Norm.
For this, we salute you, the real hero of this story!
They don't teach you that in 11th grade biology
Thanks for sharing this priceless treasure!
Today is my brother's birthday. He died 16 years ago. Since then I've been searching for father figures. An unermench as Carl Yung calls it. I found Norm. He went through so much shit. Love. Love. This guy knew love was the only way. Its hard but I try every day to love cuz of norm. My heart is heavier now than it was before norm left us. Not trying to be a douche, just trying to speak from the heart, though I've never tried it before, speaking from the heart..."
💖
This was 'lost' until I posted on Reddit asking for it. I had seen mention of this of this recording but all download links were dead and from like 7 years ago. When I say lost I mean it wasn't anywhere on TH-cam or on the internet (from my understanding and deep dive), but I knew someone would have a download link. Massive shoutout to u/bananaseleven on Reddit for this recording.

You’re the real hero.
@@poopandfartjokes the real hero’s are the actual hero’s.
So glad you dug this one up! It's one of his best sets, and worth multiple repeat listenings!
Thanks for this. Been looking for it everywhere since it disappeared. This is my all time favourite stand up show, you're awesome
@@jamesjones6069 No, it's the teachers!
so Fred Dracula says to me, 'what's a vampire?' 🤣
Literally my favourite one liner of Norm's of all time.
Hypocrisy!
Norm was in top form for this set. An artist in flow.
He had a real "stream of consciousness" thing going. 😉😂🤣
Actually he is working on a lot of new bits here. Bits that were perfected years later. Listen to the bootleg from the Vic Theatre recorded in 2019. At this point Norm had perfected many of them. I think Norm towards the end of his life had one of the best sets of all time. The last Netflix special without the audience does not do him justice. In my opinion Norm is the best stand up of all time. This is savant level comedy.
It was that damnable vampire porkchop
@@JeffMTX
Or so the germans would have you believe.
@@rudolphguarnacci197 ...which confirms my theory...
What a masterpiece!
Thank you for posting this gem.
They don't pay you for being a vampire lmaooo
Norm, YOU are the Real Hero and ya pulled me out of The Fire many times. Ya ol' chuck a coal! Miss you greatly!
"I don't mean to get all Bill Hicks on you!!!" You fucking Rule Norm!!! 🙌🏼🙏🏼❤
This is an absolute gem. Thanks for sharing! Love ya Norm.
This is absolutely fantastic! What a treasure! Wonderful we have this record of his absolute genius. Thank you very much 🙂
Ohh, man, thank you so much, I was looking for this set, both Austin TX sets are awesome, but this is even better, Thanks for the reupload!
There’s been many many hecklers of comics throughout the decades, and some of them have been shut down quite effectively. But none have been dispatched as hilariously and thoroughly as the “hero-teacher” in this greatest ever Norm set. He wasn’t even nasty or harsh, just stunningly funny as he schooled the teacher.
It still hurts my heart. I’m surprised at how much it saddens me to lose a celebrity. Two weeks later, COVID took my mama. Now it’s even more personal for me. I used to show her clips of Norm because she never really got him before, but when people started going woke and freaking insane, I think more people began to understand the meaning in so many jokes that they would’ve missed ten or twenty years ago. I dearly wish I would’ve known how awesome he was much sooner. As much as I despise google, I’m glad to have learned more about Norm years ago. It sucks that so much of his content is just now showing up. I’m seeing all kinds of sets and bits since he left us. It just hurts to see his pics on screen, yet I still laugh at the jokes in the background. I haven’t been this saddened over a celebrity since Don Knotts and Andy Griffith. I love that show. It’s just clean comedy.
I don’t know how I never knew how funny he was until a few years ago, but one day I heard him on TH-cam telling the gay pride joke to Dennis Miller. I laughed so much that I played more. That was the first time I heard a lot of his content, and I went to sleep laughing, that night, to a three hour video of nothing but talk show appearances.
After seeing enough that I started to understand the thought behind his approach, I went back and watched old stuff, and this time I got it. I never understood how funny he was back then, and how rebellious he was. I came to understand that Norm has a sort of conservative approach to much of his way of thinking, and thus his comedy, and in today’s sick society, it just sucks that the best comedian to expose it with humor has stopped making new jokes.
Very sorry to hear about your mom.
Sorry you lost your mom. I also lost one of my most favorite friends from almost 20 years ago, about a week before Norm passed. It was very odd because my friend always reminded me of Norm, in the way he was just completely unique and original and funny in nearly everything he did. Always always making people smile.
I once read a comment on one of these Norm videos one time that said something like,
'I think Norm MacDonald is an angel or an Ascended Master of comedy, who incarnates every time the world is going thru massive changes to make people smile and laugh about anything.' I think that kinda fits. His comedy, his mind, his eyes, his playful childlike rebelliousness, all of it is designed to penetrate our defenses and defy all possible expectations, and to laugh at the most mundane things and ourselves.
I'll finish because I am a man of my word but if my word not my bond
IMO this is Norm's best set found on TH-cam. I've listened to most of them. This one has more laughs per minute and the jokes and topics are really funny and refreshing.
agreed but have you seen all the othe ones on my page yet? there are some heavy hitters
@@bubbyberry I've seen most of them. A lot of repeat materials between sets, but I don't mind - always funny. This one in particular, with the bit about Dracula, is very funny. I find that he's funniest when it's just him and the crowd or the room, no camera for the TV.
His best work is the little podcast, of course, but when he's doing standup, he's at his best when he can just be "disorganized". When he cleans up his material for the camera audience during his specials, I feel like that's not his natural self.
My only regret in life is missing this show.....I lived one block away from the club in 2010.
I love hearing all of this. I appreciate the post.
TY so much for sharing this..great set by Norm..R,I,P
Thanks for this man!
Classic "pork chop period" Norm
perfect name for that era of Norm.
Oh my god I didn’t even know it was *this* recording. That’s beautiful thank you :,)
Its amazing to listen to the joke on cannibalism and the plane crash and contrast it to his later bootlegged stand up audio. The way he morphed the joke subtly but profoundly the way he does is genius
Thank you for all uploads of Norm...i really enjoy all off the gigs i never listen before!
Regards from Serbia!
Viva Serbia!
Viva Serbia!
Wow this all new material to me. Thanks for the upload!
Funny how he goes from Dracula being scary to a couple not being scary. That couple being Fred and Rose, famous serial killers from the UK, surname West, far scarier than Dracula.
I noticed that too, I'm sure he chose those names deliberately even though he knew an American audience wouldn't know about them. His own little private joke.
He does that a lot. A commentor got upset because he used Alec Majuersken's name. The guy said he was some sort of athlete from Norway or something. He sounded offended. It's like Burt Muston.
Thanks @bubbyberry
Been hunting out live Norm sets.
As Norm's speaking of this, I am tuggin at a piece of ginger stuck in my teeth, with my tongue, from the sushi I ate awhile ago. RIP Buddy Norm-The Best!
I don't think I'll listen to anything but this for the rest of the year.
Thank you so much Roach Dogg Jr.!
This was my favorite set and it disappeared months ago! I can't believe it's back and with better audio!
@@bubbyberry
Now there's another schmuck besides i'm not norm that loads 1 min or less clips (i'm not even going to mention his name). I hit don't recomnend xhannel on that buttbrain. Keeo up the gr8 work, Mr. bubby. Norm loves ya.
Oh damn Ive listened to the teacher bit and heckler recording a lot, but hadnt heard the whole set! Thanks for uploading
yeah because weirdo's like 'I'm not norm' refuse to upload the full recording, instead cutting up clips and uploading the best parts to increase revenue and dodge copy right. i dont monitise because this is not my work. I'm a norm fan not a norm leech.
@@bubbyberry
Ikr. I'm only beginning to understand the politics of yt
@@rudolphguarnacci197its fucked
@@bubbyberry legend. 👍
😂😂😂😂 Norm was the best ever in my opinion .
Easily.
And he remained in tact with his stand up. He didn't go into acting because he ran out of material like so many hacks before him (Crystal, Steve Martin -- yeah, steve stupid, R. Williams. The list is endless.) Norm was a thinker. He filled his acts with new and old material, yet refined and aged like wine.
Wow thanks for digging another gem up
I love hearing all of this stuff..
Around 1hr 22 min:
"If mick jagger can't get any satisfaction is there any hope for Pepe the arthritic busboy?omg peeing my pants
Norm is the best
"Then, you have to wrestle with your conscience because, you know, uh, there's guys to eat. You can eat."
“Whoa what are ya doin there Brian?!! What’d I tell ya about that?” 😆
RIP Norm
Best set of all time
The way Norm said, "knowin." Ah, a purpose of nostalgia. Touches me deep down.
But not in some gay way - take it easy!
This was the easiest subscription decision ever! BTW, if i ever get haunted by a ghost, i really hope it's Norm. The scariest thing he'd do is eat a pork chop and ruminate about his death.
The fucking wolf bit!! Omg I cant stop laughing.
Thanks for uploading.
Finally I found the show the teacher/heckler bit came from
I finally have an answer to the question, "Who would you most like to bring back from the dead and have a beer with?" It's Norm Macdonald... RIP!
But the beer would go right through him, on account of him being a transparent ghost.
Ahmen to that.
@@ZeroBudgetFilmSchool
Can't top your comment. Shiver me timbers!
Wow! He beat out Marilyn Monroe??
So I work for a bank and we had a meeting with “icebreakers” and one was to go around the room and say “if you could have lunch with one person, living or dead, who would it be?” And everyone else is naming a dead relative, or some inspirational wise person, or Jesus. I say Norm Macdonald and I swear, the air gets sucked out of the room for a moment. I LOVED it. :)

Always love finding new Norm clips/sets that I havent heard before. Thanks for the upload, and have a boy, Roach Dogg Jr 😉
check out my channel bro, its all great content like this
Really enjoyed this. Cheers 👍
I loved his Women are the Superior Gender bit... had me in stitches, I haven't heard that anywhere else. Hope you don't mind I clipped it.
“im a fella and your a fella whats goin on here?!”
Don't mess with THE NORM!
Genius!

Pure genius is all that I can say.
I still start crying 😢. I hope I can hug him in the after life. I might need a ladder though
Norm: "hello everyone"
Crowd: "hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha haha!!!!"
This is pure gold
Thanks for this 🤘
