I know I speak for all of us guests when I say we had a blast playing along with Portland comics, Ian Stuart and James Theberge. Troy and Mark are the stars of the Welcome To Maine video series and are played by James and Ian respectively. Welcome To Maine debuted last August and has established them as our favorite tourism guides. Why s that? Well, it s because they actually teach us about some fun facts, while irreverently satirizing all the wacky things that make us uniquely Mainers.
The episodes are written and directed by Ian who also portrays Mark . He brilliantly responds to everything Troy says, with Yuhts and Oh Yuhts . Mark uses different inflections appropriate to what is being taught to us with just the right amount of local flavah. I love this character so much that I find myself acknowledging others with nothing more than Yuhts these days. It seems to work just fine.
They'll trace it all the way back it's origins with the indigenous people of the region, tell us how the tools evolved and explain when it became more of a drinking sport than a fishing sport.
