Tony Clifton

For the uninitiated, Tony Clifton is a Las Vegas lounge singer “discovered” by anti-comedian Andy Kaufman in 1969. He's a belligerently unfunny performer who intermittently dusts off his specious nose putty, fake mustache, and horrible wig and abuses audiences with poor taste and chestnuts like, “What’s the worst part of being a child molester? Getting the blood off your clown costume!” People will be offended, and Clifton will undoubtedly dump a drink or two on an audience member.
