- Artists:
- Bonnie 'Prince' Billy »
Will Oldham, aka Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, is to turn his hand to stand-up comedy later this month, reports Pitchfork.
The singer will perform at Weeds in Chicago on December 19; the show's part of Drag City's People Under The Stares comedy series, run in conjunction with the Empty Bottle.
And that is that, really. Unless you're in Chicago around the time, in which case you might want to know that tickets for the show - Oldham's first in such a role - are seven dollars.
Oldham plays London's Queen Elizabeth Hall on January 26 and 27.
Will Will be funny? Got any good jokes about princes? Got any good jokes at all? Will reads DiS, y'know. DiScuss...

I hope the stage backdrop
Is a constantly changing picture of Will's and Einstein's faces alternating endlessly
He was in my dream last night
As a sea captain.
I do rememember that
his trousers fell down after a mid song toliet break when i first saw him in 93. That was very funny. He was in the toilet a while-could have been danger wanking.
