SPECIAL DEAL--$15 BUCK NIGHTS!
Tues Dec 14, and Fri Dec 24
Wacko sketch mavens Lisa Koch and Peggy Platt celebrate 20 years of comic togetherness with the latest incarnation of their cult holiday show, chock full of dysfunctional characters, cheesy costumes, and more wigs than Cher. This year's show features a cornucopia of questionable taste:
*Country duo The Spudds offer up Mama's version of a biblical epic with "Spuddacus"
*Game show "Deck the Pauls" features panelists Ru Paul, Rand Paul and Paula Abdul, hosted by Sir Paul McCartney
*Choral music meets the Undead in "Night of the Living Glee"
*Granola duo Mud share their new eco-friendly invention
*The tiny Sequim Gay Men's Chorus sing with Pride
Koch and Platt have collaborated as sketch-comedy partners for the past 20 years, and have toured extensively as Dos Fallopia. A London Connection review declared, "Could they be the long lost love of Doris Day and Divine? Big, brash, and completely mad...," and a San Francisco Bay Times reviewer proclaimed, "...two of the funniest, most irreverent comedians I've seen in years."
When they're not performing together, the two women pursue busy solo careers. Koch has recorded four solo CD's, is the recipient of a Just Plain Folks Music Award, performs regularly on Olivia Cruises, and has co-written an Off-Broadway show (27 Rue de Fleurus). Platt is well known to Seattle audiences as a standup comic, radio personality, and actor/playwright (Fat Girl Follies, Rocky Horror Show, Holiday Survival Game Show).
Notice: No hams are ever harmed during the production of this show.

| I went to see the December 14th performance of Ham for the Holidays; it was one raucous, no-holds-barred comic gem. Peppered with Pacific Northwest humor, and held together by pure absurd fun. I'd highly recommend attending, if you haven't already. |
