Bert and I or
Bob Marley, we bet that
Troy and Mark will be right up your alley. They are the stars of the almost weekly series,
Welcome To Maine on YouTube and Facebook.
Since last August, Troy and Mark have been our tour guides to all things weird and wonderful in the Pine Tree State. So far, they ve checked in from Portland Head Light, The Desert of Maine, The Moxie Store in Lisbon Falls, B & M Baked Beans in Portland, the Paul Bunyan statue in Bangor, Stephen King s house, the Cryptozoology Museum, and more.
Troy and Mark are played by Portland comics James Theberge and Ian Stuart respectively. We should also say that they play them respectfully, as their portrayals the Maine everyman are spot on. They get us, because there are us. They are actual Mainers who also happen to be brilliant comedians.
Maine Tourism Guides, Troy and Mark, Teach the Maine Accent
Troy and Mark are actually local comedians James Theberge and Ian Stuart. Written, directed and edited by Ian, the Welcome to Maine team thought it was time to teach flatlanders how to talk with a Maine accent.
The Welcome to Maine crew have covered the Portland Headlight, the Desert of Maine, Moxie, the B&M Baked Bean Factory, a pot dispensary and even Eartha. You never know where Troy and Mark will show up to educate you about the great state of Maine.
For this episode of Welcome to Maine they really dug deep. To find the subtleties of the Maine accent. For example, the French influence of Biddeford, Lewiston and Madawaska - and how the accent is worse when they are drunk. Apparently, they are always drunk!
Wicked Funny: Troy and Mark Teach Us About Maine Coon Cats
We gotta give it up for the Maine comics who are helping to distract us from all the gloom week after week. They are sowing the seeds of laughter on social media with highly entertaining stuff throughout these challenging times of very limited options for live performance.
Bob Marley keeps coming up with fresh musings on how things are going in his wacky world.
Teagan Wright does his Sternman character and tells funny Maine tales.
Another one of our favorite things to follow is the
Welcome To Maine series from Ian Stuart and James Theberge.
Well, according to Troy and Mark - it s actually Yaaaaaamouth s Eartha.
Troy and Mark are actually local comedians James Theberge and Ian Stuart. Written, directed and edited by Ian, the Welcome to Maine team headed to Yarmouth to see the world s largest globe.
The Welcome to Maine crew have covered the Portland Headlight, the Desert of Maine, Moxie, the B&M Baked Bean Factory, a pot dispensary and upcoming episodes will include The Lobster Pound, L.L. Bean and many of the fun attractions and tourist destinations Maine has to offer.
Troy and Mark, despite their goofiness, did some homework on Earth. We learn that Eartha is 41 feet in diameter and is the largest rotating globe in the world. It was installed back in 1998 and takes 18 minutes to complete a full cylcle. The Guiness World Records came to Yarmouth and measured it - it s 131 feet round. It s also tilted on a 23.5 degree axis mimicking the earth s real angel.
