Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre is a comedy team best known for its radio sketches broadcast on National Public Radio.

The group was formed in 1975 by University of Iowa students Bill Allard, Dan Coffey, Merle Kessler, Leon Martell, and Jim Turner. In 1976, the comedians moved to San Francisco.

Starting in 1980, they began performing short sketches on NPR's All Things Considered. The sketches became nationally popular, and three of the recurring characters – Dr. Science, Ian Shoales, and Randee of the Redwoods – became better known than the group.

The Ducks toured throughout the United States during the 1980s, but went on to separate projects after 1990. They had a reunion performance in 2005, and several live performances in 2007.
