Trailer Park Boys' Randy and Mr. Lahey will be taking the stage at Fanshawe on Jan. 18.

The dynamic duo will be making their appearance at Fanshawe on Jan. 18, and this act is not one to miss. They have left the big screen to travel around North America, and have been causing a stir with their excellent stage performances.

Randy and Mr. Lahey began their careers together when they were featured in the Canadian-made television show called Trailer Park Boys. In the show, Mr. Lahey is depicted as a drunken ex-police officer who has since been fired, and now works as the supervisor of the trailer park. Randy is depicted as a cheeseburger loving, no shirt wearing assistant supervisor, who assists Mr. Lahey in his booze-fuelled misadventures.

Both actors have decided to take their talents on the road and will pay Fanshawe a visit.

Their careers on the road have been a huge hit; John Dunsworth, who plays Mr. Lahey, has confirmed that he has now made more money playing Mr. Lahey on stage than he did acting in the TV show.

Randy and Mr. Lahey have visited Fanshawe before and it was a big success. Kevin Masterson, the events and activities co-ordinator for the college, provided some insight on the last time that the duo had visited Fanshawe.

“The last time we brought [Randy and Mr. Lahey] in, we had a huge crowd. It's one of those shows that is very interactive, people are super excited to see them, there's lots of screaming and hollering, and the guys really feed off the crowd and the energy. If you like what they do, you will definitely have a good time.”

Using wise advice from Trailer Park Boys, it's time to have a few drinky poo's.

The event begins at 8 p.m. in Forwell hall and the tickets are $10 from the Biz Booth and $15 at the door. It's an all-ages event with valid student card, but a 19-plus event without one.
