Canadian folks need a little bit of cheer, 91Ƶbecause sometimes the world can be a little bit of doom and gloom,91Ƶ says Randy, from the Trailer Park Boys who is bringing his Cheeseburger Picnic to Highway 97 Brewing in Penticton on Oct. 27.

91ƵRandy91Ƶs Cheeseburger Picnic91Ƶ brings a little bit of happiness to whatever area Patrick Roach is lucky enough to visit. Roach plays the shirtless character, Randy Bo-Bandy, in the Canadian trainwreck of a mockumentary, 91ƵTrailer Park Boys.91Ƶ The over-the-top, foul-mouthed, but monumental franchise is set on the East Coast of Canada and has been a TV series with numerous seasons on Showcase and Netflix also stars Mike Smith (Bubbles), John Paul Tremblay (Julian) and Robb Wells (Ricky).

Fans, Roach says, can expect Sunnyvale Trailer Park91Ƶs beloved Randy on stage in all his glory with no shirt. 91ƵAnd I sure hope there91Ƶs some cheeseburgers. There better be some cheeseburgers or I91Ƶll be an upset guy.91Ƶ

Randy tells a few jokes, sings a few songs and hosts Cheeseburger Picnic party games with fan interaction - which ends up being a good old time with the many 91ƵTrailer Park Boys91Ƶ fans. 91ƵI consider myself very lucky.91Ƶ

According to Roach, fans at the live appearances always seem to know various quotes from the show.

91ƵSometimes they will tell me to 91Ƶfrig off,91Ƶ which is one of the quotes.91Ƶ

Unfortunately, Randy lost the best damn trailer park supervisor in the world, Mr. Lahey, a few years ago. Jim Lahey was played by John Dunsworth and toured with Roach across Canada and abroad.

91ƵSometimes, a little bit of authority is needed. But on this Cheeseburger Picnic, you can91Ƶt get too drunk. You91Ƶve got to pace yourself. It91Ƶs just meant to be fun because you want your neighbour to have fun too,91Ƶ Roach adds.

Randy has been all over the world, has done live shows and has spoken to many fans.

91ƵI guess there91Ƶs people like us everywhere in the world. I feel bad for all the Rickys, that91Ƶs for sure. Ricky peed in my shoes once. You just can91Ƶt get that smell out. Even though sometimes everyone might have their differences and we live close together in our trailers, we try to live a good and happy life.91Ƶ

It also takes a brave soul to venture out during a Canadian fall, winter and spring, especially when you don91Ƶt wear a shirt, like Randy.

91ƵMr. Lahey and I did a lot of touring together. Back when 91ƵTrailer Park Boys91Ƶ was on a network named Showcase. It aired mainly in Canada at that time and fans had VCRs. They would tape it on VCR tapes and share it with friends and it spread that way. Back in the day, Mr. Lahey and I went to so many college and university campuses and did shows and we had driven across the Prairies in the freezing cold. One show was shut down in Saskatchewan because there was so much snow,91Ƶ Roach recollects.

There91Ƶs an official Bubbles movie in the works, according to Roach. 91ƵI was over in Europe with Bubbles. We were making a documentary about him starting his band. So there91Ƶs going to be a Bubbles movie. That was pretty exciting.91Ƶ

91ƵYou just never know what91Ƶs going to happen with the 91ƵTrailer Park Boys,91Ƶ91Ƶ Roach adds.
