Buckets N Boards at the Bowlus

The Bowlus Fine Arts Center kicks off its new season with a boisterous display of percussion, music, dancing and comedy.

Buckets N Boards, a comedy percussion show that promises fresh and clean fun for the whole family, is coming to the Bowlus at 7 p.m. on Saturday. 

“When you talk about family friendly, these two guys are absolutely hilarious,” Dan Kays, executive director for the Bowlus, said.

The duo of Matthew Levingston and Gareth Sever created Buckets N Boards out of their shared passion for music, comedy and rhythm. Their high-energy act uses a variety of instruments — including buckets as makeshift drums — for an entertaining array of ridiculous songs, dancing and musical talents. 

“There’s so much going on in terms of comedy and physicality. They’re literally drumming on buckets, propane tanks and squeaky toys. They bring kids on stage and there’s a lot of audience participation,” Kays said.

The act recently wrapped up their 14th season headlining in Branson, Mo., at Dick Clark’s American Bandstand Theater. They’re also one of the top requested headlining acts for Disney Cruise Lines and will return to the sea aboard the Disney Dream in October. 

Tickets are $19 for adults and $16 for students, and are available at bowluscenter.org.
