Tom Green was only 15 when he started doing stand-up in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada. We're not gonna say he was mature beyond his years, but rather that he's always been a goofball. The comedian, who has served as talk-show host, stuntman, actor, writer, director, Juggalo-inspired rapper, and cow teat-sucking weirdo, stops in at The Comedy Zone Charlotte this week. Green's been known to make jabs at society's obsession with the Internet and social media: He says he appreciates the interconnectedness it's brought us, but longs for a sense of mystery — pretty deep, coming from the same guy who scored "Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)," isn't it?
