Tim Sample
October 25, 2023, 7:30 PM
$20
Tim Sample is a Maine native whose unique New England style of humor has gained him a national following. When introducing Tim on ABC’s Good Morning America Charles Gibson referred to him as, “the man who wrote the book — literally — on Maine humor!” Legendary newsman Charles Kuralt has called Sample “Maine’s Humorist Laureate.”
Describing Tim Sample’s work as “humor” rather than “comedy” is, according to fellow Mainer and bestselling novelist Stephen King an important distinction, “He’s a funny guy, you’ll get no argument from me on that score, but no more a comedian than Mark Twain or Artemis Ward. Like, them, Timmy (that’s what I always call him the way folks from up our way are apt to call their friends “dearie”) isn’t acting; he’s just talking in a kind of heightened and gifted way, as folks do when they’re passing on valuable tales about the human condition.”
Tickets: $20. Prices include a per ticket handling fee. Tickets are nonrefundable. This event is eligible for the Youth Arts Access Fund and all proceeds will benefit this fund. This event is free to Waterville Creates members!
