THE GROUP
Kingston, Ontario's The Arrogant Worms are a three-man comedy troupe. Using only a guitar, bass, great stage presence, super-tight harmonies and the sharpest wit, The Worms are on a mission to make you laugh. They are Canada's self-proclaimed Clowned Princes of Humour, Purveyors of the Absurd, and Ambassadors of Fun.
The Arrogant Worms' humour ranges from topical to the absurd. Their live performances have a reputation for high energy, a playful atmosphere and slightly unusual audience participation. This is clever, clean comedy for all ages.
The Worms will burrow your mind and your funny bone!
Inimitable, irrepressible and ingeniously funny, The Arrogant Worms are Canada's best known musical comedy act. Since their debut on campus radio in the early 90's, the comedy trio has recorded 10 albums and now tour throughout North America and Australia. The Worms have their musical roots in folk and acoustic rock, though they borrow from Celtic, country, reggae, bluegrass, surf music and even gospel.
TREVOR STRONG
Trevor Strong is the mother of three fuzzy children. Turn-ons: his hair, the smell of gas (his own), forcing cats to snuggle when they don't want to and spring fashion. Turn-offs: being awake, this silly notion that people with good table manners are somehow better than the rest of us and the word "gaggle"
Trevor strong sings, plays things and appears dishevelled.
Trevor is actually six foot seven inches tall with olive skin and a ripe muscular physique, but appears short, pale and flabby to let others feel better about themselves. Trevor would like to thank Christie, Kitty, and his friends and family for their love, support and tolerance. Trevor would also like to thank the little green man who lives in his head.
He sings and plays any instrument smaller than three inches long. Despite his prodigious mane of curly blonde locks he is not a crazed Muppet as earlier reported on the "Fifth Estate".
Trevor is embarrassed to possess a psychology degree from Queen's. He spent his formative years in Belleville, ON, and will shake noticeably when you mention that fact. Give it a try! Its fun!
Trevor speaks one language fluently and has bigger hair than most muppets. He has a psychology degree from Queen's University, even though he majored in drama. As a child, he studied ballet, sung soprano in bushes, thought cooked raisins were dead flies, and was scared of sliced tomatoes. Now he bakes cookies and takes Karate.
CHRIS PATTERSON
Chris Patterson used to live in every town they'd ever played in. Turn-ons: bad sitcoms, awkward social situations, hockey fights and leaving the turn signal on for several miles after a lane change. Turn-offs: being told he looks like Brian Mulroney, inferior dancers and people who don't appreciate experimental bass playing.
Chris Patterson sings, plays bass and appears courtesy of non-alcoholic beer.
Chris has now been with The Arrogant Worms for four years without being replaced. Why has he lasted so long? A chimp could do what he does. Maybe he's a chimp. No one knows, but we do know that Chris is as pure and innocent as the day he was born.
Plays bass, sings and never stops moving ... in both senses of the word. Chris used to live in every town The Worms have ever played in. He may not be the best bowler, but man can he dance! Before becoming an entertainer, he enjoyed success as a paperboy, grocery bagger, gas jockey and blacksmith.
He loves his pal Lumpy and hates his pancreas.
He's had problems with his pancreas (which X-rays have revealed is shaped like a Teddy Bear), spends his evenings humming showtunes and one day hopes to be an otter.
MIKE MCCORMICK
Mike McCormick enjoys bowling and yelling. Turn-ons: really, really cold freakin' weather, his computer, hops and barley. Turn-offs: long walks on the beach, Moby Dick and flying in a plane really high with a drunk heavy breather on one side and a crying child with a nicotine addiction on the othe side.
Mike McCormick sings, plays guitar and appears courtesy of medical science.
Mike is a mean, nasty man who hates everything, everybody, and especially musical comedy albums. He lives in a small toolshed in the Ottawa Valley where he spends his days yodelling and kicking a lawn mower. Future plans inclue elevation to near godlike status. Mike thanks Laura, Zoe, family and friends for love and support; coffee, beer, ice cream and doughnuts for love and inspiration; the Globe and Mail Style Guide for advise on the use of the serial comma.
Plays guitar, sings and rants a lot. He is colour blind and is losing his hearing; explaining both his fashion sense and his taste in music.
Mike is the tallest, oldest, most educated and is the best bowler in The Worms. He only watches T.V. if it's CFL, Hockey or Star Trek and thinks that voyager would be better if either James Kirk or Shania Twain were captain.
His long-term plans include liposuction, and sitting on a porch yelling at pedestrians.
