Maine-themed comedy show at Franco Center Feb. 3
Maine is the theme of this popular comedy show.
The Welcome to Maine comedy show will be coming to the Franco Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 3. Maine-based comedians Ian Stuart and James Theberge began filming the Welcome to Maine series in late 2020. As part of the comedy show, Ian portrays Mark and James portrays Troy, fictional Mainers. They were joined by Cousin Luke, portrayed by comedian Paul Hunt in late 2021. Aiming to be both funny and informative, Welcome to Maine blends a mix of updated traditional Maine humor with historical facts and a whole bunch of “yuhts.”
This comedy show is inspired by traditional Maine humorists such as Bert and I, and Tim Sample but are far from the now-classic comedians. Welcome to Maine is brutally honest and unassuming. They are not shy to share some of the bold truths that are common elements of daily Maine living.
The troupe’s material features well-known Maine themes and topics which include Allen’s Coffee Brandy, weed stores, and Marden’s. Mark is the straight man of the team with a standard reply, Yuht, Oh yuht, or Ooooh yuht, as Troy and Cousin Luke set up all the material. The trio produced a comedy album which includes skits reminiscent of an Adam Sandler album.
