Tom Green back in the spotlight

- — Peter Hartlaub

Tom Green’s career path has never been predictabl­e. He became famous as the creator and star of “The Tom Green Show” in the 1990s, which gained quite the following on MTV.

He was a movie star through most of the early 2000s, in the underrated “Road Trip,” along with “Freddy Got Fingered” and “Stealing Harvard.”

Now he’s settled into the role as the experience­d traveling comedian, who appears to have mellowed with age — but not too much. His act is still filled with energy, covering everything from Donald Trump to social media. (Green was telling people to get off Facebook a decade ago.)

Green returns to Cobb’s Comedy Club on Friday-Saturday, April 27-28, with four shows over the two nights.
