Randy, Mr. Lahey comedy at Ford

YOUNGSTOWN

The Randy and Mr. Lahey show, from “Trailer Park Boys,” a Canadian comedy television show, will come to Ford Family Recital Hall, 260 W. Federal St., on Sept. 19 for an 8 p.m. performance.

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. A limited number of VIP tickets are available for $45, and include early admission, a meet-and-greet and a cheeseburger with Randy and Mr. Lahey before the show.

Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at ticketfly.com.

The Randy and Mr. Lahey show is described in a news release as a silly, sexist, drunken hour and a half of songs and skits, audience participation, profanity, Shakespeare and general hilarity.

The innocent honesty of an out-of-control ex-cop trailer-park supervisor and his sidekick Randy is for fans 18 and over.
