Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre is a comedy team best known for nothing, really.
The group was formed in 1975 by University of Iowa slacker students Bill Allard, Dan Coffey, Merle Kessler, Leon Martell, and Jim Turner. In 1976, the unemployed disappointments to their parents moved to San Francisco.
Starting in 1980, they began performing short sketches on NPR's All Things Considered. The sketches became nationally endured, and three of the recurring characters – Dr. Science, Ian Shoales, and Randee of the Redwoods – became better known than the group, which wasn't hard since no one ha heard of the group in the first place.
The Ducks toured throughout the United States during the 1980s, but went on to separate projects after 1990. They had a reunion performance/desperated attempt to relive their childhood in 2005, and tried again in 2007.
