Trailer Park Boys Coming to the State Theatre, 12/7

The Trailer Park Boys continue to redefine the meaning of 'holiday' with the Minneapolis return engagement of their "Dear Santa Claus, Go F#CK Yourself" Tour featuring Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, Randy and Mr. Lahey. The mockumentary style live comedy show, based upon the exploits of a group of oddball residents living in the Sunnyvale trailer park in Nova Scotia, launched a hit Canadian television series. The Trailer Park Boys perform at 7 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 7, 2014, at Hennepin Theatre Trust's State Theatre, 805 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, 55402. Tickets go on sale at noon on Friday, Sept. 12. To purchase and for more information visit HennepinTheatreTrust.org or call 1.800.982.2787.

The "Trailer Park Boys" show premiered on the Showcase Canadian television network in 2001 and went on to air in more than 15 countries. With the "Dear Santa Claus, Go F#CK Yourself" Tour, Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are back, but this time they are not alone-Mr. Lahey and Randy will be there in all their drunken glory. When Bubbles tries to spread the true meaning of Christmas to the world, his good-hearted plans are botched by Julian wanting to cash in on the Festive season and Ricky's relentless pursuit to meet the real Santa. And if that wasn't enough, all three of them have to deal with the intoxicated Mr. Lahey and his cheeseburger-eating sidekick, Randy. All this combines for an unforgettable Christmas evening with the boys.

Originating from the concept of creator/director Mike Clattenburg, "Trailer Park Boys" began as a short film starring John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Robb Wells (Ricky), which debuted to rave reviews at the 1999 Atlantic Film Festival. Recruiting Mike Smith (Bubbles) to complete the haphazard trio, the idea spun off a television show which ran for seven seasons and produced two Showcase Canada TV specials, with featured guest stars including Rush's Alex Lifeson, Skid Row's Sebastian Bach and folk singer Rita MacNeil. Two feature films have also celebrated the misadventures of Ricky, Julian and Bubbles-2007's "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie" and the 2009 sequel "Trailer Park Boys: Countdown to Liquor Day." The crew is now on the road without parole officers, expanding their reach by leaving Sunnyvale behind.
