BURGDERFER The Prince of Entertainers is an impersonator and story teller of a rare type, having the natural gift of spontaneous humor and fun, with a personality that pleases everyone.

He is original and unusual in wit and style with an irresistable mixture of mirth, story, laughter and tears, varying from grotesque grimance to startling oratory, that places him easily in a class by himself.

He furnishes a full evening of character delineament, stories, original and otherwise, little tragedies, bits of pathos, piano-logues and Jest Nuts using wigs, paint and curls, for a pleasing variation.

He claims for himself a mission on the platform of dispensing clean whole-some fun, which he truly does in his own inimitable style, leaving a memory that cheers, blesses and uplifts.

Valley City, North Dakota
Clarence Burgderfer, the original funny man, was, without question, the biggest laugh of the season.  He kept his immense audience, which overflowed the tent and stood on the outside by the hundred, in a roar of laughter from first to last.  His wit, readings and costume work were of a high order, while his imitations of various animals and promiscuous noises was clever and intensely funny.  On a return engagement he will be assured of an immense audience and a rousing welcome.
