He squints his eyes. He knows no boundaries. In other media, he has portrayed a parrot (in Disney’s “Aladdin”) and a duck (in old insurance company ads). He co-hosts his own “Amazing Colossal Podcast,” interviewing renowned and obscure pop culture icons and spreading disturbing anecdotes about Danny Thomas, Milton Berle and Cesar Romero.
On a stand-up stage, Gilbert Gottfried remains unbeatable, as is well-documented in the classic crass-comedy compendium “The Aristocrats” from 2005. He was the sole subject of another documentary, “Gilbert,” last year.
The rasping, hooting, cursing, crazed and extremely amusing Gilbert Gottfried performs at 8 p.m. on June 15 at The Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, 300 Main St., Old Saybrook. Tickets are $34. 860-510-0453 and katharinehepburntheater.org.
