Koch and Platt go Ham For The Holidays



Seattle favorites Lisa Koch and Peggy Platt (aka Dos Fallopia) serve up another steamin' portion of pork with “Ham For the Holidays: Lard Potion No. 9!” opening November 27 at the Theatre Off Jackson, 409 7th S. (off Jackson in the Int'l district). Koch and Platt have collaborated as sketch-comedy partners since 1990, and have toured extensively as Dos Fallopia.

“Lard” is the ninth incarnation of the ever-popular “Ham” series (Son of Ham, Bride of Ham, Glazing Saddles, Cinco de Porko, Swine, Women and Song). Directed by veteran Seattle actor/producer David Koch (Cabaret de Paris), "Lard" is a daffy concoction of dysfunctional, screwball characters:

  • Country superstars The Spudds host “Trailer Park's Got Talent”
  • Archie and Edith Bunker (plus cousin Maude) travel to Game Show Land in “All in the Family Feud”
  • 70's lounge act The Colonel and Shenille warble about light rail
  • The tiny Sequim Gay Men's Chorus sing with Pride.

    Shows are November 27 - December 27, 2009 with tickets $20 - $23 and $15 tickets for students and seniors. A half-price preview is on Wednesday November 25 for $10 and a pay-what-you-can show is on Wednesday December 2. Wednesday November 9 and 16 is bargain night with tickets just $17. Shows on Wednesday through Saturday are at 7:30pm with Saturday and Sunday matinees at 3pm. For more info and tickets go here.
