Canadian miscreants Trailer Park Boys are to tour the UK.
Robb Wells (Ricky), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Mike Smith (Bubbles) have created loyal and loveable characters for their television series and their message has spread globally. For nearly two decades “The Boys” have garnered plenty of positive press and gained a hardcore following of fans.
Now, Trailer Park Boys’ Ricky, Julian, Bubbles and Randy are coming to the UK in September with a brand new riotous live show that brings all the action and humour from the TV series to an army of audiences across the country. What’s supposed to be an intimate evening with the Trailer Park Boys quickly goes off the rails when, after escaping arrest for 'a simple misunderstanding', the boys realize they have limited time to party before the cops inevitably track them down. Under pressure to pack as much partying as possible into the evening, expect the boys to be at their drunkest, highest and greasiest for a hilarious night you’ll never forget!
Visiting Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall, London’s O2 Academy Brixton and Manchester’s Albert Hall, they will be creating humorous havoc in ways only they know how.
Originally, the concept of Trailer Park Boys began as a short film starring John Paul Tremblay and Robb Wells, which debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival. The premise: a camera crew chronicles the boys’ adventures living in the Sunnyvale Trailer Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. 10 seasons, three feature films and multiple live specials later, the camera crew continues to follow Ricky, Julian and Bubbles.
The brand has escalated to new heights when Netflix picked up the television series starting with Season 8. Then 2015 saw the launch of the Trailer Park Boys podcast on iTunes, where it was nominated for the Best Of iTunes and had over 1.2 million downloads. Live tours continue to sell out across North America, Europe, New Zealand and Australia. In October 2016, The Boys released a new special for Netflix entitled "Out Of The Park Europe", which chronicled their adventures throughout London, Berlin, Copenhagen, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki and Amsterdam.
Alongside the ongoing success of the TV series, Wells, Tremblay and Smith launched Swearnet.com - their uncensored online comedy network. Fans include Jimmy Kimmel, Snoop Dogg (who makes an appearance in Season 10), Axl Rose, Billy Bob Thornton, Noel Fielding, Verne Troyner, Rival Sons and Rush.
