“The Early Evening Show” is a spoof of late-night talk shows and is hosted by funny man Mike Miclon. “The Early Evening Show” has been performed from Maine to Switzerland and built it’s reputation with a 14-year run at the Oddfellow Theater in Buckfield. The show comes complete with an eccentric cast of characters including Dickie Hyper-Hynie, Moto Hoonchbach, and the Early Evening Show Orchestra. The show’s wild improvisations, surprise guests and audience interactions have made it the longest-running live variety show in Maine. The Bangor Daily News called it “a seamless, hilarious production” and CBS Sunday Morning called it “must-see reality.”
June’s performance will feature guests of honor Thom Wall and Fritz Grobe. Wall is a knock-out jugler who recently toured with Cirque du Soleil and joins the show hot off a run at Radio City Music Hall. For more information about Thom, visit his website at http://thomwall.com. Grobe, is the co-founder of Eepy Bird (aka The Coke and Mentos Guys) and a fan favorite with a long history of performing with “The Early Evening Show.”
