Canadian folks need a little bit of cheer, sa国际传媒渂ecause sometimes the world can be a little bit of doom and gloom,sa国际传媒� says Randy, from the Trailer Park Boys who is bringing his Cheeseburger Picnic to Highway 97 Brewing in Penticton on Oct. 27.
sa国际传媒淩andysa国际传媒檚 Cheeseburger Picnicsa国际传媒� brings a little bit of happiness to whatever area Patrick Roach is lucky enough to visit. Roach plays the shirtless character, Randy Bo-Bandy, in the Canadian trainwreck of a mockumentary, sa国际传媒淭railer Park Boys.sa国际传媒� The over-the-top, foul-mouthed, but monumental franchise is set on the East Coast of Canada and has been a TV series with numerous seasons on Showcase and Netflix also stars Mike Smith (Bubbles), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Robb Wells (Ricky).
Fans, Roach says, can expect Sunnyvale Trailer Parksa国际传媒檚 beloved Randy on stage in all his glory with no shirt. sa国际传媒淎nd I sure hope theresa国际传媒檚 some cheeseburgers. There better be some cheeseburgers or Isa国际传媒檒l be an upset guy.sa国际传媒�
Randy tells a few jokes, sings a few songs and hosts Cheeseburger Picnic party games with fan interaction - which ends up being a good old time with the many sa国际传媒淭railer Park Boyssa国际传媒� fans. sa国际传媒淚 consider myself very lucky.sa国际传媒�
According to Roach, fans at the live appearances always seem to know various quotes from the show.
sa国际传媒淪ometimes they will tell me to sa国际传媒榝rig off,sa国际传媒� which is one of the quotes.sa国际传媒�
Unfortunately, Randy lost the best damn trailer park supervisor in the world, Mr. Lahey, a few years ago. Jim Lahey was played by John Dunsworth and toured with Roach across Canada and abroad.
sa国际传媒淪ometimes, a little bit of authority is needed. But on this Cheeseburger Picnic, you cansa国际传媒檛 get too drunk. Yousa国际传媒檝e got to pace yourself. Itsa国际传媒檚 just meant to be fun because you want your neighbour to have fun too,sa国际传媒� Roach adds.
Randy has been all over the world, has done live shows and has spoken to many fans.
sa国际传媒淚 guess theresa国际传媒檚 people like us everywhere in the world. I feel bad for all the Rickys, thatsa国际传媒檚 for sure. Ricky peed in my shoes once. You just cansa国际传媒檛 get that smell out. Even though sometimes everyone might have their differences and we live close together in our trailers, we try to live a good and happy life.sa国际传媒�
It also takes a brave soul to venture out during a Canadian fall, winter and spring, especially when you donsa国际传媒檛 wear a shirt, like Randy.
sa国际传媒淢r. Lahey and I did a lot of touring together. Back when sa国际传媒楾railer Park Boyssa国际传媒� was on a network named Showcase. It aired mainly in Canada at that time and fans had VCRs. They would tape it on VCR tapes and share it with friends and it spread that way. Back in the day, Mr. Lahey and I went to so many college and university campuses and did shows and we had driven across the Prairies in the freezing cold. One show was shut down in Saskatchewan because there was so much snow,sa国际传媒� Roach recollects.
Theresa国际传媒檚 an official Bubbles movie in the works, according to Roach. sa国际传媒淚 was over in Europe with Bubbles. We were making a documentary about him starting his band. So theresa国际传媒檚 going to be a Bubbles movie. That was pretty exciting.sa国际传媒�
sa国际传媒淵ou just never know whatsa国际传媒檚 going to happen with the sa国际传媒楾railer Park Boys,sa国际传媒檚a国际传媒� Roach adds.
