TIM SAMPLE AT THE WINTERPORT UNION MEETING HOUSE
New England humorist, Tim Sample is famous both for his presentation and his Maine accent. He has sold well over a million copies of his books, albums, and videos, including four albums and a video for the Bert and I company. In the summer of 1993, Sample was recruited by Charles Kuralt as a correspondent for the Emmy Award winning TV Show CBS News Sunday Morning. Over the following 11 years, Tim produced over 100 "Postcards from Maine" segments which introduced millions of CBS viewers around the nation and the world to the lifestyles of Mainers.
Tim's first album of Downeast humor was recorded in 1979 and produced by Noel Paul Stookey, "Paul" of Peter, Paul, and Mary. The liner notes for the album were written by humorist Marshall Dodge, who, along with his partner Rev. Robert Bryan, created the world-famous Bert and I recordings back in the 1950's. After Marshall Dodge died in 1982, Tim recorded four albums and a video for the Bert and I company. Sample and Bryan have collaborated on a number of projects since, including several TV specials, the popular recording How to Talk Yankee, and the TV specials Out of Season and Maine Humor Behind the Barn.
Tim has also written and illustrated several books, including How to Talk Yankee and Saturday Night at Moody's Diner. Tim's national TV appearances include The Today Show and Good Morning America. He has also narrated many films and books on tape, including Robert McCloskeys children's classic Burt Dow: Deep-Water Man, Stephen Kings The Sun Dog, and a reconstructed version of the 1930 documentary From Stump to Ship. In August 2006 Tim Sample released his first two DVDs, Tim Sample 2006 and Back in the Day. Tim Sample 2006 was recorded in June 2006 at The Bangor Opera House. Back in the Day contains digitally remastered footage of Tim's performances from 1983 and 1985.
All of Tims performances are guaranteed family friendly. Theres absolutely no foul language, no angry, mean spirited jokes, just a refreshing evening of laughter and fun for all ages.
