The Trailer Park Boys are taking their “Still Drunk, High and Unemployed” Tour to New Orleans with a show on February 25 at the Mahalia Jackson Theater for the Performing Arts.
John Paul Tremblay, Robb Wells and Mike Smith, better known as Ricky, Julian and Bubbles, are now on the road after their “Community Service Variety Show” with a new act that will feature Bubbles trying to create a new career for himself in the film industry, Julian putting money-making scams into action and Ricky with an idea that could “change the world!”
Wells, Tremblay and Smith have toured on three Trailer Park Boys live stage productions across the United States and through Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
Trailer Park Boys originated from a concept by creator/director Mike Clattenburg for a short film which debuted in 1999 at the Atlantic Film Festival. The idea was to show the chronicles of a camera crew following the boys’ adventures living in the Sunnyvale trailer park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
The project spun off a mockumentary-style show, which ran for seven seasons and produced two TV specials on Showcase with guest stars such as Rush’s Alex Lifeson, Sebastian Bach and Rita MacNeil, along with three full-length features.
The series was revived in 2014 with the release of an eighth season, and is currently streaming exclusively on Netflix worldwide.
