Thunder & Potatoes
A Tribute to the American Folk Tradition
by Barry Kornhauser
Thunder & Potatoes is a rip-roaring, highly interactive, hands-on celebration of American folklore, where audience members gather to swap stories, sing songs, invent bodacious boasts, join a jug band, partake in a non-pie pie-eating contest, and a whole lot more. With live music, jokes, jests, a barrelful of ballyhoo, and just a touch of thought-provoking moments, this playful show brings the heart and humor of yesteryear to life—loud, proud, and full of folksy fun.
"A celebration! A rollicking reminder of the American spirit... Reminds you that there's nothing quite as delightful as a good, old-fashioned, hearty laugh." ~ New Era
"There's plenty of corn and plenty of Kornhauser in 'Thunder and Potatoes.' That alone is good news for everyone." ~ Lancaster Sunday News
