Behind The Tour Guide – A Documentary

byron@theinvisibletourguide.com (Professor Byron Frump) — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 23:18:38 +0000

Last September, infamous documentary auteur Cloff ‘Leather Britches’ Chuffbunting, spent two weeks in the company of Professor Byron Frump. Two weeks that were to prove infinitely memorable, not just for Professor Byron Frump, but for our world. This documentary was the result. If you’ve ever wondered what motivates the man so many of us have grown to admire, and perhaps even love, or pondered the life of the unpleasantly rich and desperately famous, ‘Behind The Tour Guide’ will feed your mawkish obsession.
