    Hey! Thanks for coming tonight; it was refreshing change from the usual alcohol responsibility lectures that we’ve been indoctrinated with since 5th grade. Your story is a moving one, and many kudos for having the bravery to share something so personal.

    Hi Bernie,

    Thanks so much for coming to Depauw! It was a really great show! Thought you would feel a little better because I have a picture like the one of you and your brother! I am the oldest kid and my little brother and little sister are huge! I’m 5’9″ and my sister and brother are both over 6’2″! :) Thanks again for the show! Good luck with the tour!

    I wasn’t too sure about a “mandatory speaker”, but am really glad I didn’t miss it! Great job and thanks for coming to DPU!

    Loved the show!! It was the perfect balance of humor and “seriousness”…You had a great message and it was delivered in the perfect way!

  9. 9 Colin Doran

    that was a great show. thats not at all what i expected when they told us we had a mandatory alcohol awareness program.

  10. 10 Emily Wightman

    I thought your show was awesome and hilarious…. you did a great job talking to college kids about the potential dangers of drinking and actually got them to listen!

  11. 11 Hallie Fischer

    Hi Bernie,

    I am a sophomore at DePauw and I am in a greek house. I am also an RA and I wish we could bring you again so you could speak at the beginning of the year before freshman begin to take part in the party scene to warn them about the dangers of alcohol abuse. I really enjoyed your talk tonight and felt the message was very poignant for the drinking scene on this campus.

    Thank you for coming,

    Hallie

  12. 12 Caitlin

    Great show tonight! I haven’t laughed that much in a long time!

  14. 14 Mark Branigan

    bernie loved the show. i’ve had a brother and a sister both arrested for DUI so that part of the show really hit home. keep doin what you are doin.

  15. 15 Erin

    bernie-
    talking with a few sisters after the show, we were really glad you brought your message to our campus and in a way that made many of us forget that you were also there to talk about alcohol. i’m so glad you turned your life around and have made the commitment to helping others realize that they can too! sean is lucky to have a brother like you ;)
    all the best,
    erin

    Thanks so much for coming!! It was a great show and it was very inspirational and a great wake-up call!

  17. 17 Stephanie

    Awesome show tonight! You did an excellent job of getting a poignant message across in a light-hearted way. It was great to hear what you had to say since you actually have first hand experience. You’re absolutely hilarious! Thanks so much for coming to talk to us here at DPU!

  18. 18 Elizabeth

    Hey Bernie!

    You really did a great job tonight! And just so you know, I had planned on going out to the bars tonight but after listening to your speech I opted for the movie instead.

    Thanks for coming!

    Elizabeth

    Bernie,
    Thank you so much for coming tonight! I really enjoyed your performance. You made me laugh but your message was very serious. I was also planning on going out tonight, but decided to take your advice and stayed in to watch a movie.
    Thanks,
    Emily

    Bernie,
    Thanks so much for coming and entertaining us tonight. You were hilarious but at the same time very inspirational. I loved every minute!

  21. 21 Jessica Richter

    Your show tonight was amazing! I truly enjoyed it! You really know how to relate to your audience and make your point clear to college students who don’t care about anything. Your story was truly inspiring…I’ll be thinking about it for a long time. Coming from a family that has always struggled with alcohol abuse, I could really relate. Thanks for coming tonight and for all the things you do to help others.

  22. 22 Sara Ketterer

    You were hilarious. I was worried when they told us it was a required comedian about alcohol, it would be exactly as you had described. However, you came out and killed it! Great job! You were hilarious. It made my night. I’m glad there are people like you out there.

  23. 23 Nick Etzcorn

    Bernie, I have actually been a fan of your stuff… I had heard about it from friends and everything but it was even better in person… It seems like something that you can be proud that you do on top of being proud in that your able to send a positive message along with doing what you love to do…

    Thanks again,

    Nick Etzcorn

  24. 24 Katie Denton

    Bernie,

    Great show last night. I’m so happy that you also did it for the Greencastle HS students, I think that’s wonderful.

    Thanks again,

    Katie

  25. 25 Tia Malcom

    HI Bernie!

    You did a great job! I think it is really important to have a check in our lives and think about our drinking habits. I know a lot of people think they will just stop their heavy drinking once they graduate but I feel like this is a time when alcoholic behaviors are formed. I have seen a lot of friends from home become too dependent on alcohol and other drugs and I believe your show is hopefully preventing some people in college from following the same path.
    You really are helping people.

    Thank you,
    TIa

  26. 26 Vanessa Mock

    Hey! I loved your show last night! It was hilarious and had a great message. Thanks for coming to DePauw and making a mandatory speaker event so much fun! I hope you come back again some time in years to come. Your comedy and your message are awesome!

  27. 27 Abby Currens

    Bernie, Great show and thanks for coming. You were hilarious and it was a great message.

  28. 28 Bridget Parker

    Bernie,

    Last night’s program was awesome. I haven’t laughed that hard in a while. Thank you so much for your powerful message. I know it’ll make me think twice in the future. And don’t worry, my 1991 Chrysler LeBaron is about to die…maybe I’ll get a Fiat. Hahaha yea right. Once again, thank you so much!

    Hey.
    I’m a Greencastle High Schooler, and I thought that the show was awesome! I liked the whole stand up thing before the message, because it helped a lot of people loosen up. And the message itself totally got to me…First hand experiences always change minds in my opinion…
    Keep it up!

  30. 30 Kelly Knox

    Watching you pereform yesterday was a real treat. At first I was very perturbed to have to come because one my day had been really hectic, two I was tired from volleyball practice, and three because up until now all of our required speakers have made you want to bore a head into your skull with a power drill. However I really enjoyed your show. Your interepretation of Wabash was priceless.

    I really connected with your struggles of drinking in high school. I didn’t do it but I had several teammates who came regularly to practice either drunk, hungover, or high. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

  31. 31 Stacie

    Hey Bernie,

    I was not too excited to go last night because the last time we had a mandatory “comedian”, this lady made up new lyrics to pop songs from like 5th grade telling us not to drink. Your show was actually funny– the message will stay with me for a long time. I really loved the parts about you and your brother. Thanks so much. You were great.

    –PS- Picking on Wabash: A

    ha.

    Bernie
    Thanks for coming to Greencaslte High School, it was really a good time. When they said that we had a comedian coming to talk to us about alcohol i thought it was going to be childish and boring but you weren’t you were really good. Just wanted to say thanks, and that you had a great message.
    -Kyle

  33. 33 Lauren

    None of us were thrilled about the mandatory alcohol speaker… You proved us wrong with a great show. The comedy was hilarious, and your deeper message will stay with me when I go out. Thanks so much, and come back again!

  34. 34 Meredith

    Your show was great. I was taking pictures for our school paper, and you made it relatively simple to get a good shot, because you had awesome hand gestures and a caption will be easy to because you had some stand out good lines. It was the first required speaker that I wasn’t bored with.

  35. 35 Colby Mueller

    Bernie!!,
    Great speech! what a way to mix two seemingly separate topics- comedy and alcohol awareness. Great Job and keep it up.
    With much respect and thanks,
    Colby Mueller

  36. 36 Sarah Eutsler

    Great talk last night! Thanks for coming and making something mandatory actually really enjoyable.

  37. 37 Kyle Thomas

    Bernie thanks for taking time to come to a little town such as Greencastle. I really enjoyed the show. I was really suprised usually when we have guest speakers most students aren’t as enterested. But, your act was above and beyond in keeping the attention on the topic at hand. I would like to thank you once again, I enjoyed your act.
    -Kyle-

  38. 38 Katie

    Thank you so much for your inspirational message. You were able to make a really important topic both enjoyable and personal and I think you were able to reach a lot of people who normally would have just ignored the mandatory nature of the event. I am really glad I came to see you!

  39. 39 Abra

    Thanks so much for bringing your message to DePauw. It was by far the best show I have seen this far here in Greencastle, Indiana! You were hilarious and I really admire your positive attitude through all of your struggles :) keep on keepin on !

    thank you!!

  40. 40 Kristy

    Thank you so much for an amazing show at DePauw! Your comedy was hilarious, but your message was extremely powerful! Thank you so much again for coming. Everyone definitely enjoyed it!

  41. 41 Myka

    Thanks so much for coming to DePauw. It was such a treat to have you. Your message was definitely meaningful and I really enjoyed coming to see you speak. I think you have a great way of showing how alcohol can make such a huge impact on peoples lives. I think the way you integrated comedy with reality was amazing and I really appreciate it! Have a great year!! Come again!

  42. 42 Lizzy Potter

    Thank you so much for coming to DePauw Wednesday night. Your comedy was hilarious and it was so refreshing to get an ‘old’ message of alcohol awareness in a ‘new’ way! Everything you said was very meaningful and I hope students here at DePauw take what you said to heart.
    Please come again next year!

  43. 43 Tom L

    The show was great. Thanks for coming.

  44. 44 Jillian

  45. 45 Aubrey Merrell

    Hey Bernie,
    Thank you so much for coming to our little town of Greencastle. I wasn’t sure what I would think of it, but it was great. You know how to get your point across, but in a funny way, which made it really easy to stay interested. I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time! Thank you so much and keep doing what you do!
    Thanks again!
    Aubrey

  46. 46 Katie

    hey bernie.

    thank you so much for coming to Greencastle High school. I am just now getting time to get on the internet to tell you how wonderful your performance at my school was. It influenced a lot of us teenagers. If I am at a party or any sort of place that has bad things going on, I am always going to remember all of your stories you said and say NO! but thanks for coming again. hope to see you sometime in the next 3 years of my High School career!
