HOULTON — The Houlton Arts Centers’ Comedy Series will continue with Maine Humorist, author and artist Tim Sample taking the stage on Saturday, May 11, at The Houlton Community Arts Center.
Performance time is 7 p.m. and the doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Tim Sample is widely acknowledged to be New England’s premier native humorist. Novelist Stephen King has likened Sample’s work to that of Mark Twain, and Charles Kuralt called him “Maine’s humorist laureate.” Tim’s albums, DVD’s and videos (including four albums and a video for the Bert and I company) have sold well over a million copies. He’s written and/or illustrated over a dozen books and over his 11 years as a regular correspondent on CBS News Sunday Morning, brought Maine and his own brand of humor to the country at large.
