Tony Clifton
Tony Clifton is a fictional standup comedian created by the influential comedy Andy Kaufman in the 1970s. Clifton has been played by a variety of comedians in costume who traditionally don't reveal their true identity. He is obnoxious, abusive to the audience, sings terribly and tells bad jokes, so bad they're potentially funny somehow.I just came back from the northeastLet me tell you somethingIt was so cold there thatI thought of something funnyYou know all the buildings are so cold they have to have heatersWhat if they put air conditioners in the buildings insteadThen it would be colder~ Tony Clifton, Midnight Special, 1981
