Does anyone remember the Tom Green Show? Green also appeared in some flicks back in the day, like Charlie’s Angels, Freddy Got Fingered, Road Trip, and Stealing Harvard. Oh, and inventing podcasting. (Webovision. True story.)  He left Hollywood long ago and moved back to a farm in his native country of Canada. He’s now on a comedy tour in support of his latest project, the documentary film This Is Tom Green, which is available to stream via Prime. Tom Green’s Home to the Country comedy show hits the Granada Theater (3524 Greenville Av, Dallas, 214-824-9933) at 8pm. Tickets are $40 on Prekindle.com.
