| The following is reprinted from a recent article in NH Magazine. We didn't ask their permission. (It was a toll call.) This blurb was penned by New Hampshire's own Rebecca Rule. Travis Wallace From Maine to New Hampshire Don Brown put a bug in my ear about Travis Wallace, whose stories, Don says, remind us “of the typical village characters we have all known growing up in small town New England.” Don runs the Corner House Inn in Sandwich, which has been hosting storytelling dinners on Thursday nights for 19 years, so he knows a good story when he hears one. Part standup comic, storyteller and actor, Travis is a professional humorist specializing in stories of Maine and New Hampshire. Just 36 years old, he was “blessed with a father who was in his mid-50s” when Travis was born. Having an older dad gave him a “whole appreciation for people of an older generation” and their stories. “Both Maine and New Hampshire are very different now than they were 50 years ago,” he says. "It was a different life, a different time, but it all took place right here.” “Let me tell you a little bit about myself,” he says in the opening to one of his acts. “I was born in Maine on Friday the 13th, which explains a lot about me, because as you know, it’s bad luck to be born . . . in Maine.” Check out his Web site, northcountryhumor.com. |
