BUCKFIELD — In the spirit of the great comedy teams of the past, two of Maine’s premiere variety performers will celebrate the new year performing their contemporary comedy show at Buckfield’s Junior-Senior High School Auditorium at 8 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 31. It will be an evening of family-friendly entertainment featuring awesome juggling, mind-boggling magic, and outrageous sketch-comedy. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. 

The duet comedy show SNAFU! features Michael Menes and Leland Faulkner, two Maine touring artists who tour nationally and internationally.  As SNAFU!, the two conspire to bring to life Murphy’s Law. What can-go-wrong-WILL as these masters of the ridiculous explore a collection of comedic props, physical gags, and imaginative illusions. Recent SNAFU! credits include opening the Shanghai International Comedy Festival and the Bengbu International Clown Festival in China where the team performed over 30 shows in September and October. The show is in the tradition of the classic American comedy teams like Bud Abbott and Lou Costello, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, and Jerry Lewis and Dean Martin. Suitable for all ages, the performance also includes hand shadows, juggling acts, and audience participation.

The evening is sponsored in part by the Buckfield High School Drama Club. Tickets can be purchased online at www.snafu.eventgrid.com for $12 adults, $10 seniors, and $8 for youth (17  and under) and are also available at Tilton’s Market in Buckfield. In case of bad weather, the show will be held on Saturday, Jan. 22nd at 8 PM.
