Trailer Park Boys Times Two

Mr. Lahey & Randy add a second performance at Horizon Stage to their tour itinerary.

They’re rude, they’re crude, they’re trailer trash and proud of it! Mr. Lahey and Randy of the hit Showcase series Trailer Park Boys are coming to Spruce Grove in January and they want all of their Edmonton and area fans to party with them. Their performance at Horizon Stage on Friday, January 11th is already sold out so, due to popular demand, they’ve added a second one on Thursday, January 10th.

Join the comedy team of John Dunsworth (Mr. Lahey) and Patrick Roach (Randy) and their special guest Jonathan Torrens (J-Roc) as they bring you an evening of skits, stories, and lots and lots of laughter. Enjoyed by millions of devoted viewers in their dysfunctional character roles, these three goof-balls will be hurling jokes and insults and interacting with their audience. Fans will be invited to hop on stage for a big-belly measuring contest and stick around after the show for autograph signing in the lobby.

Trailer Park Boys is a popular Canadian mocumentary television series that focuses on the misadventures of the residents of Sunnyvale Trailer Park, a fictional location near Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. This low-budget program premiered on the cable network, Showcase, in April 2001 and quickly became a home-grown phenomenon. Its 7 seasons, consisting of 55 episodes, have also spawned two TV specials and a feature-length movie. It now airs in numerous other countries around the world including the UK, Ireland, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Israel, The Netherlands, Portugal, Denmark and Germany.

A classically-trained theatre actor, John Dunsworth is best known for his role as Jim Lahey, the deranged, alcoholic, trailer park supervisor. Patrick Roach plays Randy, his devoted, shirtless, assistant trailer park supervisor and "long-time companion." Joining them on stage in Spruce Grove will be Jonathan Torrens, a.k.a. J-Roc the white rapper who lives with his overbearing mother, speaks in Ebonics, and frequently uses the phrase "You know what I'm saying?"
