DUCK’S BREATH MYSTERY THEATER unleashes a five CD box set! This year, the Ducks digitized everything they ever recorded, then distilled it to BEHIND THE COMEDY, close to five hours of hilarity, hosted by Ducks Bill Allard and Merle Kessler. It includes classic pieces by their best known characters – Ian Shoales, Dr. Science, and Randee of the Redwoods, sketches from their two albums (Born to Be Tiled and Out of Season), public radio series (Duck’s Breath Homemade Radio), and bits from their appearances on NPR’s All Things Considered. The five BEHIND THE COMEDY radio programs also feature musical interludes created by SpongeBob SquarePants composer Andy Paley. Thirty years of comedy on five CDs, just $24.95.

A 90-minute 35mm feature film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Only available on this web site. The Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre troupe wrote and starred in this zany Iowa tale involving a giant radioactive cow, Hollywood filmmakers, and star-struck citizenry.

Here it is: the much-anticipated compendium of classic Duck's Breath sketches, performed by the boys last July in San Francisco. Thirty years of goofy comedic genius are captured in live performance, with commentaries by the Ducks, and by Doctor Science. Thrill to the antics of Randee of the Redwoods, Sister Mundi Mister Johnson, Ian Shoales, and Mr. Tall Jars, in such classic sketches as Art Show, Four Hole Buick (Car Opera), More Than a Box, and much, much more. This lavishly-produced DVD also includes Duck's Breath video from the vaults, scads of historic photos, and a variety of unique comedy features.

We dug out the master recordings and made a crisp, fresh CD version of the Duck's most musical and zany production. If you're a collector or just a fan of America's answer to Monty Python, you can't miss these CD-quality copies of Boogadoo Players, Millionaire Bootcamp, the Underwater World of Jacques Cocteau, Invasion of the Mole People, Dr. Science, and more. Suppressed by government edict for years (okay, it was out of print), now available via this catalog only! 55 minutes in length.

The finest and funniest recorded moments in the 20 year history of Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre. A 60-minute aural cornucopia of laser-targeted lampoonery, surrealistic shtick and just good old-fashioned yuks -- served up in stream of 90 second chunks for comedy connoisseurs. Featuring Denny, in-house psychologist, the Boogaloo Players, Dr. Science, Randee of the Redwoods, and much, much more.

A hilarious day in the incredible fantasy life of America's resident sneer artist. Destined to become an underground classic for the '90s...this 203 page comic novel is "shot through with genuinely keen satire of contemporary fads and flapdoodle, for which Ian is famous. Perfect World is the most fun of its kind since The Hitchhikers Guide the the Galaxy!" (Booklist). Ian's L.A. dreams lead him from temp job to CEO, from the new age party scene to a North Dakota theme park.

Free of the burden of employment since the end of the 20th century, Ian Shoales is now ready for some damn fun. This is the official recording of the 2003/2004 San Francisco musical hit, BROKE, starring (writer) Ian Shoales and (composer) J. Raoul Brody, with Dave Terry and Amyellyn Kessler rounding out the cast. All dialogue was recorded live at the wonderful Marsh Theatre, with music recorded at Bluff Studios, featuring the miracle of multi-tracking and cheesy production values. It’s part self-help, part musical, all chucklefest. When things get hopeless, the hopeless get BROKE. Warning: Adult Language! On the other hand, BROKE is“…unusually rich in flashes of wit and other sardonic delights.” (SF Chronicle)
