Happy New Year, IDSers! Let’s celebrate with a wacky and zany OTR script from 1930 entitled Station KUKU.
"STATION KUKU," written and directed by Raymond Knight and broadcast by the National Broadcasting Company, is considered the most popular humorous program on the air. It is a burlesque on broadcasting and illustrates that the pun is not the lowest form of humor broadcast. In casting the production, which is a weekly program, Knight uses actors and actresses with wide ranges of voice characterizations. The following script is a typical "KUKU" broadcast and is an outstanding example of radio comedy as written. The broadcast runs thirty minutes.--Peter Dixon, 1931The cast features two IDS favorites John Mauldin and Brad Oxnam with background support from Jonathan Phipps.
John Mauldin as Ambrose J. Weems, Eddie McGuirk, Louie, and Nurse.
Brad Oxnam as Announcer, Molasses, Percival D. C. W. Pother, Mrs. Pennyfeather, Gorilla Ginsberg, Gwendolyn Rockyford, and Ambrosia.
and
Jonathan Phipps as background vocals.
