Yuks For the Yuletide with Rod Long & Peggy Platt December 18, 2008

If you remember "The Bon" Christmas star and J.P. Patches Christmas specials or if you just need a diversion from holiday drama and a tanking economy, an evening filled with local references from two of Seattle's best native comics could be just what the doctor ordered. From the Mariners to the Seahawks to Light Rail (or lack of) it's all fair game. The bonus is the show will be loaded with Christmas material and a character or two from Miss Platt. Both Rod and Peggy are Seattle International Comedy Competition winners, with over 25 years of knocking Northwest audiences senseless. Between the two of them, they've worked everywhere from Tokyo and London to Canada and Mexico. They've worked clubs, cruise ships, casinos, a bevy of corporate parties and benefit shows for every cause known to man.

Rod recently opened again for Chuck Berry. Opening act credits also include Eddie Money, The Temptations, Smokey Robinson, Eartha Kitt and Anita Baker. "Perhaps the Northwest's Most Gifted Comedian, Long is quite simply one of the funniest entities in the Galaxy" -- Pacific Northwest Magazine

Peggy was voted Seattle's best comic 9 times by the Seattle Weekly. She has opened for Cyndi Lauper, Margaret Cho, Jerry Seinfield, Jay Leno and Kathy Griffin.
