Rusty DeWees returns to BF with another edition of ‘The Logger’

BELLOWS FALLS — Rusty DeWees returns with a fresh edition of his one-man comedy show, The Logger, at the Bellows Falls Opera House on Oct. 8 and 9.

The Logger's original ever evolving one-man comedy tour de force has played to hundreds of thousands of fans throughout Vermont, Northern New York (state, not city), and around New England since The Logger first took the stage in 1998.

The comedy features the Stowe native playing a host of offbeat, rural characters (plus a few white platers from down country).

DeWees is working on a follow-up book to his first, Scrawlins, and has recently played a series of shows in Maine, along with benefits and sold-out holiday shows. He speaks at high schools on careers and a substance-free lifestyle, and writes a weekly newspaper column.

The actor has appeared nationally on TV shows including “Law and Order” and “Saturday Night Live,” and films such as “Black Dog,” with the late Patrick Swayze, and “Pieces of April,” with Katie Holmes. He's worked with well-known Vermont filmmaker Jay Craven on “A Stranger in the Kingdom” and “Disappearances,” starring Kris Kristofferson.

Tickets are available at brattleborotix.com and Village Sqaure Booksellers in Bellows Falls. Both shows start at 8 p.m.; all tickets are $20.
