Alonzo Bodden Headlines the
Laughter at Comedy at the Coast
Tickets are on sale now for the July
edition of Comedy on the Coast at
Chinook Winds.
Last Comic Standings Alonzo
Bodden will keep you laughing along
side Bobby Kosser and Mike “Wally”
Walters on July 27-28.
Alonzo Bodden will headline the
evening with his “cynically good-
natured” comedy. He graduated from
Aviation High School and went on to
work as a jet mechanic for nine years.
After realizing he spent more of his time
telling co-workers jokes than training
them, he decided to study comedy.
Bodden's first real break came
when he opened for Tommy Davidson
of In Living Color. This sent his career
into orbit. Bodden has appeared on
such TV shows as the Last Comic Stand
ing and Late Night with Conan O Brien.
Bodden wanted to do something
positive with his comedy, so he began
touring with the USO. He has joked
with troops in Kuwait, Thule, Green
land, Azores Island, Spain, Central
America, Panama, and other points
around the world. It’s a safe bet that
Bodden is the only man on earth who
helped build the stealth fighter and
entertain its pilots.
Bobby Kosser is fresh and funny
without all the smut. He has had nu
merous guest shots on such shows as
The Tonight Show and the Late Show
with David Letterman.
Kosser's long list of achievements
includes film, television, theater, and
personal appearances. He has opened

to be funny to get a gig. He is not afraid
to tackle the delicate issues of relation
ships, childbirth, and travel - and stamps
them with his own sense of humor.
