Thoughts, ramblings and ridiculousness of Daryl Ducharme
Daryl Ducharme is an entertainer by nature, a tech muse by trade, and a walking dad joke. He's got lots of ideas that he'd like to share and he wants to hear yours.
This episode of Mind Your Manners features Billy (played by Darrell Suto) getting ready for a New Year's Eve party. Suddenly a party crasher (John Keister) comes along and ruins his party before it even starts. Billy then proceeds to teach him some manners, Billy Quan Style.
So a few weeks ago I made my way to Seattle on a top secret trip. I went, I saw some sites, met some friends and family and top secretly went to a job interview. I kinda hated the secrecy but things are the way they are in the job world. To make a long story short, I got the job and I'll very shortly be moving back to my old home of Seattle.
Since I think of Almost Live! when I think of comedy in Seattle (for now anyway) and I need to be reminded about how to live in Seattle the following playlist is my comedy for the week. I thought about breaking this up into several weeks instead of a playlist but the move is coming faster than I think.

I am really excited about my move but even more excited to get involved in a new improv scene. Currently, there isn't a ComedySportz in Seattle so I'll need to check out Jet City Improv and Unexpected Productions.
This past weekend I got to revisit my old home of Seattle, WA. I wanted to do a Sunday Funnies post in honor of that trip. When I think about Seattle and humor I think of one thing...Almost Live! Anyone who was in Seattle from the late 80's through the 90's probably already knows about this show. For the uninitiated, Almost Live! was a show that came on before Saturday Night Live so thus they were Almost (Saturday Night) Live. It followed a similar skit comedy format with some recurring characters.
Lately I've had people bring up high fives, especially high fiving yourself. I have shared the following video.

Do you remember Almost Live!? Did you live in a city with something similar? Do share your thoughts. I love myself some comedy and I look forward to finding more.
Back when I lived in Seattle we had a sketch comedy show that came on the half hour before SNL. It was great local comedy and many of the jokes just aren't funny to people outside of the Seattle area. However, some sketches seem to be funny regardless of locale. The following videos regarding Roscoe's Rug Emporium are two that always come to mind when I see furniture stores "Going out of Business." Watch and enjoy!
