Earlier this year, alright way back in the spring, I visited the Poland Spring Resort in Poland, Maine, and learned there’s a lot more about this place than just a refreshing drink.

Have I mentioned my manager, Llily Llama, isn’t that original when it comes to rock iconology? Case in point, when she heard Spinal Tap’s announcement that in 2026 they will be doing a concert at Stonehenge, she thought I should add an ancient rock symbol to my repertoire. Therefore, she sent me to the Emmons […]

However, there’s more to the town of Exeter, New Hampshire than just a widely witnessed UFO sighting in 1965 and the subsequent UFO festival that takes place each year over Labor Day Weekend. In fact, Exeter had an even more prestigious visitor […]
Welcome to a very special episode of Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Earlier this summer on my tour of Fort Ticonderoga in New York, I shared an idea of incorporating my newfound knowledge of how to fire an historic cannon into my act. I envisioned doing a 21 poop bag salute (EMPTY – for all […]
Yesterday I kicked off Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2025 at Eartha, the world’s largest replica of the Earth located in Yarmouth, Maine. Eartha isn’t the only big attraction in Yarmouth.
