Bill Allard, one of the five absurdist sorcerers who comprised the fabled Ducks of Duck's Breath Mystery Theater, has, with the help of his son Richard, curated video playlists showcasing their epic 40-year run! Seven playlists will be released over the next month or so, culminating with what sounds like some or all of their ill-fated 1989 feature film Zadar! Cow from Hell. There are placeholders spotlighting what is to come, but don't get over eager or confused as I did. The go-live dates are in their press release below.
Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre on Sunny Side YouTube
Forty comedy videos released TODAY on Sunny Side YouTube.
San Francisco, California – Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre was founded in Iowa City, Iowa in 1975. The five-man team has produced a river of absurd theatrical comedy. The DUCK'S BREATH MYSTERY THEATRE Playlist presents a look at this forty year effort.
The Sunny Side YouTube Playlist was produced by Duck's Breath co-founder Bill Allard.
"Picking videos and the order they appear in the DUCK'S BREATH MYSTERY THEATRE playlist has been a career affirming task. We wrote and performed an outrageous amount of funny stuff for stage, television, and film and these 40 comedy videos tell the whole story in 90 minutes," laughed Allard.
Sunny Side YouTube is managed by Duck Spots, a company owned by Allard and son, Richard Allard. The duo plan to release archived comedy video playlists for six more weeks and then launch a live morning broadcast on their Sunny Side YouTube channel.
