After confirmation that production of season 10 of hit Canadian mockumentary Trailer Park Boys was announced back in June, anticipation has risen for the live outing of the Netflix hit.

Set in a Nova Scotia trailer park (obviously), Trailer Park Boys follows the day to day misdemeanours of petty criminals Ricky and Julian, with their unlikely sidekick, Bubbles.

Since it’s inception in 2001, the show has become a staple in Canadian TV, slowly spreading in to the US and becoming a hit in the UK.

As their double sell out gigs proves, the show’s combination of toilet and dry humour has been a hit this side of the pond too.

"The live version appears to be a massive cult classic and the low budget, highly improvised set translates well to the stage"

A combination of TV adverts throw back to Lahey with “Lahey’s Liqour Store”, shortly followed by a dramatic space blast off including all three of the main characters.

Bubbles, surprisingly, seems to take centre stage, but pulls it off, playing the part of space controller, quiz show presenter and general pervert.

The show seems to reminisce and throw back to previous tours, the Skype session with Lahey and Randy all done in a typically hostile manner, with the crowd encouraged to shout obscenities to the screen.

The whole show thoroughly utilises audience interaction, with a lot of camera zooms on boobs and legs, as well as an introductory sale of “Julian Chips” aka Walkers’ packets with a ‘J’ written on them, enticing many of the audience on to the stage.

‘Conky’, Bubbles’ alter ego makes multiple appearances. Stateside TV show ‘Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader’ makes a Trailer Park Boys entrance, renamed ‘Are You Smarter Than a 1st Grader’, in which Ricky is challenged by four members of the audience to some general knowledge questions.

He comes up with some very Ricky-esque conclusions, such as a centipede being named so because it is a single legged entity, called a centipede because one cent is the same as one penny.

Overall, Trailer Park Boys Live is like Marmite before it was well known – you love it, hate it, or have never heard of it.

In this case, the live version appears to be a massive cult classic and the low budget, highly improvised set translates well to the stage.
