Smart bets: Tom Green

For comedian Tom Green, humor takes many bizarre (and often gut-churning) forms — guzzling milk straight from a cow’s udders, overexplaining condom purchases, even penning a list of items adjacent to his rear end for hit single “The Bum Bum Song.” The off-the-wall prankster, famous for his MTV series “The Tom Green Show,” movie roles in American Pie and Freddy Got Fingered among many other mainstream appearances, also revels in filming strangers’ reactions to his wild antics and periodically torturing his parents for comedic value. Catch the nationally known star at The Millroom, where he’ll translate his odd sense of humor into a stand-up routine, on Tuesday, April 14, at 8 p.m. $20/$22.50. ashevillemillroom.com.
