Bobcat Goldthwait

For more than three decades, Bobcat Goldthwait has riled up audiences with his darkly unsettling and often politically driven comedy. Recently the comedian, who lends his voice to a popular Disneyland attraction, made headlines when he stood up for disgraced Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn. In an Instagram post, Goldthwait said he should also be canned by the film’s parent company, since his own material has been far more offensive than the resurfaced tweets that got Gunn fired. Recently, the comedian has been working on an adaptation of his documentary feature Call Me Lucky about comedian Barry Crimmins. Catch Goldthwait Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10, at the Vermont Comedy Club in Burlington.
