on Jan. 30.

The controversial event was last held at the Wyandotte Street West strip club in January 2012.

Sam Katzman of Katzman Enterprises said the event — which involves hurling a willing little person as far as possible — is being revived due to “popular demand.”

“What I do know is that a lot of people like it, and the performer himself likes it,” Katzman said on Thursday. “We’ve been getting 15 to 20 phone calls a day since we put up the sign at Leopard’s.”

Katzman credited renewed interest in dwarf tossing to a scene in the 2013 Martin Scorsese film The Wolf of Wall Street

.

“People saw the movie, and they thought it was a neat thing,” he said. “It’s also a competition. Anything that’s competitive, people are into.”

The Jan. 30 event will not feature Bradley “Tripod” — the four-foot-eight local resident who was involved in Windsor dwarf tossing in 2003 and 2012.
