These evenings of GREAT ENTERTAINMENT will be the shows that the world never stops talking about!
And here is some FREE entertainment for you freeloaders who seem to frequent the internet. I hope that you will open your purses and spend some money on me at some point in the future: Here is Bonnie Prince Billy on "Poolside Chats with Neil Hamburger": - I am the real Neil Hamburger, America's $1 Funnyman. There have been imposters on this internet pretending to be me, but rest assured, it could not have been me, because I do not have a computer and do not conduct correspondence that way. I am setting up this account to provide a format for people to complain about me, and I will try to check in from time to time, whenever there is a coin-operated computer at the truck stops I visit for re-fueling while on the road (a record 420 shows last year!!!) For more information, visit my fan-maintained website at www.americasfunnyman.com
The cheapskate crowd may want to click on this text to see episodes of my live-to-internet TV show Poolside Chats With Neil Hamburger.
We also have here for you, an episode of Tom Green Live, featuring myself as Tom's side-kick, with Thora Birch. Click here to watch Neil Hamburger, Thora Birch, and Tom Green...together at last!
Be sure and visit this important new website: http://www.ihatethatsweedishfuckingpieceofshitsmusic.com
Special thanks to my kind-hearted fan Rance Reyes, for helping me with this page when I am unable to afford to use the coin-operated computers to fix all its problems.
