The Northshore Performing Arts Center in Bothell presents “Pot Luck” by Patrick F. McManus, starring Tim Behrens (pictured), who’s been described as humorist McManus’ “indentured actor,” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 27.
McManus has penned 21 titles, which have sold more than six million copies. Five of his short humor collections have made the top 10 of the New York Times Best Seller list. His five one-man shows — all performed by Behrens — have played to more than 400,000 people in 21 states.
“Pot Luck” presents a wide array of seemingly weird stories. For example: Witness Pat as he gets abducted by space aliens. Find out why Mrs. Swisher thinks Martians have grown wheat for their young near her farm. Understand why a grasshopper trap doesn’t need really large jaws. And why ethics demand that Girl Scout Cookies be returned. Meet 100-year-old Ed and decide whether he can be trusted not to die on a camping trip, just to make you feel bad.
Ticket prices for “Pot Luck” are $25 for adults, $21 for seniors and $15 for youths. Tickets are available here or by calling (425) 408-7988 from noon to 4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
The center is located at 18125 92nd Ave. N.E., Bothell.
