Taylor Negron

Comedian, actor and writer Taylor Negron has literally lived his life on “the edge.” Since emerging on the stand-up scene and beginning his long tenure of small roles in big movies over 25 years ago, Negron has always been on “the edge” of fame. Yet whether you’ve seen him delivering a pizza to Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High or serving up an ass-whupping to Bruce Willis in The Last Boy Scout, chances are pretty good that you refer to him as “oh, that guy” whenever you see his face on screen. Considering the fact that Negron averages about two film roles a year, not to mention regular work on television and stand-up, this reference seems like a bit of a shame. So here’s your chance to spend a little time all up close and personal like with a man who has starred in his own HBO Comedy Special, frequently warmed the guest’s chair on “The Tonight Show” and recently delivered a delightfully creepy scenario in Penn Jillete’s The Aristocrats. By the time Negron has finished his act, it’s doubtful that you’ll ever have a hard time remembering his name again.

Saturday, November 5 at 8pm. The Tralf, 622 Main St. (854-3068). $19.50
