What you should know:

If you are interested in booking a Tim Sample show here’s what you should know:

  • My shows are always “family friendly” , no crude language or off-color material…ever!

The basic performance categories are:

  • Open to the Public: Usually held at venues such as Opera Houses, Community Arts Centers, Auditoriums, Fairs, Arts Festivals etc.
  • Corporate retreat/After Dinner ( or lunch, or even breakfast ) Speaking: Usually held at resorts or function Hotels.
  • Fund Raisers: For a variety of worthy groups – 501(c)3 or other non-profit status is  required.
  • Private Groups/Events : You name it.I’ve done it! Birthday parties, family reunions, wedding anniversaries, college reunions, military reunions, motorcycle gatherings, old car shows and a whole lot of other events from Maine, to California. ( Florida in the winter? Let’s talk!).

I also present these workshops:

  • Storytelling and the Oral Tradition

To book a show:

Use the form below or email me at tim@timsample.com. You can also phone me at 207-522-3347.

Tell me what type of event you are planning and the time/place/date you have in mind. I’m happy to discuss the details including my availability and fee. Obviously, the more lead-time we have the more likely it is that the date will be available so it helps to plan ahead! If you are interested in a particular date but need time to decide before make a firm commitment I’m happy to hold the date on a “first refusal” basis until I hear back from you. If someone else inquires about the same date before I hear back from you I’ll contact you and offer you a chance to confirm before booking the date with another client. That’s all it takes. Simple huh? . Call or write today and let’s get started!

Keep in mind that all of Tim’s performances are guaranteed “family friendly”. There’s absolutely no foul language, no angry, mean spirited “jokes”, just a refreshing evening of laughter and fun for all ages.

NewspaperpicTim's Newspaper Column

I never planned to be a newspaper columnist. In fact, back in 2011 when I was approached by then editor Joe Gelardin about writing a weekly column for The Boothbay Register and the Wiscassett Newspaper I turned him down flat! “Not enough money.” I sniffed, “Plus, why would I want a weekly deadline hanging over my head?”

Fortunately Joe wouldn’t take no for an answer. My weekly column “Stories I Never Told You” turned out to be an excellent creative outlet. In 2013 it earned a First Place award from the Maine Press Association and in 2014 a collection of columns entitled “Answers to Questions Nobody was Askin’” was published by Down East Books. An audiobook version is in the works. Stay tuned.
