Laugh Away the Ghouls and
Goblins at Comedy on the Coast
On Halloween weekend, trick-or-
treaters age 21 and older can enjoy
three devilishly funny comedians at
Comedy on the Coast at Chinook Winds
Casino Resort.
Comedians scheduled for Oct. 29-30
are Barry Diamond, Bobby Kosser, and
Stanley Ullman.
For those who watch Curb Your
Enthusiasm, Friends, or Seinfeld,
Barry Diamond will be a familiar face.
Fans of the film Bachelor Party will
remember Diamond as “Rudy” and in
particular his infamous movie line,
“Let’s have a bachelor party - with
chicks and guns and fire trucks ...”
On top of having appeared in well-
known television and film comedies,
Diamond has been doing stand-up
comedy at the best comedy clubs in the
nation for more than 15 years, includ­
ing multiple USO comedy tours.
Coastal Rhythm & Blues Features Paul deLay,
Mel Brown, and Norman Sylvester
Three respected and talented blues
bands will create a juke joint atmo­
sphere at the Coastal Rhythm & Blues
show Oct. 9 at Chinook Winds.
The performers include Paul deLay
featuring Linda Hornbuckle, Mel
Brown featuring Ellen Whyte, and The
Norman Sylvester Band featuring
LaRhonda Steele.
Paul deLay is considered one of the
finest blues harmonica players and
singer-songwriters to be found and his
band mates are well known in blues
circles across the nation. Recently, West
Coast Blues Review wrote that deLay’s
band is “easily the best of all the West
Coast backup units.”
Northwest vocal legend Linda
Hornbuckle will lend her astounding
vocal talents to the evening’s show in her
second appearance at Chinook Winds.
Mel Brown is noted for his work
with The Supremes, The Temptations,
Diana Ross, Martha and the Vandellas,
and numerous jazz musicians, and has
firmly established himself as one of
America’s foremost drummers. He’s
even played with The Beatles - he’s the
drummer on their release of My Sweet
Paul deLay
Lord. Brown also loves straight ahead
mainstream jazz and has toured with
Teddy Edwards and Bill Watrous.
Ellen Whyte, the “neon blonde of
blues,” will join Brown and his band.
The Norman Sylvester Band started
performing in the Portland area in 1985.
The band has shared the stage with BB
King, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Jun­
ior Wells, and Otis Clay. Helping the
band bring the boogie to the stage will
be featured vocalist LaRhonda Steele.
Barry Diamond
From The Tonight Show to Late
Night with David Letterman, Bobby
Kosser is well-known for his offbeat
(but not off-color) humor. His style has
been described as “a cross between
Woody Allen and Jerry Seinfeld.”
Kosser has opened for such celeb­
rities as Tina Turner, Ray Charles, The
Pointer Sisters, and Dolly Parton.
Stanley Ullman has headlined at
comedy clubs across the country. In
fact, he holds the record for the most
performances on A&E’s Evening at the
Improv with six.
Many audience members may rec­
ognize Ullman. With 25 national tele­
vision commercials on his resume, it’s
no wonder. He’s also been seen on
Night Court and Golden Girls.
Comedy on the Coast begins at
8 p.m.; doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets
are $ 12 and are available at the box of­
fice. This is an age 21 and older show.
Norman Sylvester
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the
first band at 7 p.m. A food court and
no-host bar, as well as non-alcoholic
beverages, will be available. Tickets are
$15 for this event, which is open to
guests age 21 and over.
