Description:
Husband and wife team Marty Allen and Karon Kate Blackwell combine the comedic talents of Allen ('Ed Sullivan Show', 'Hollywood Squares') with the music of Blackwell, an accomplished singer and pianist.
From the Gold Coast site:
Comedian Marty Allen and singer, songwriter and straight woman Karon Kate are still one of the best comedy/straight routines in the entertainment industry. When you see the show, you will see that he is the Marty Allen of 40 years ago.One of the reasons for the success of their show is its spontaneity. "Karon has no idea each show what I'm going to say or do. Even the parts that I write, I try to keep fresh. I constantly add new lines so the routines aren't the same," says Marty.
One of Karon's most popular songs is Wedding Wows. It became so popular, she recorded an album and included the song. Her first album, titled simply Karon Kate Blackwell, included Wedding Wows and several familiar songs such as ode To Billie Joe and God Bless The U.S.A. One single, I Can't Laugh was a Cashbox 'pick of the week' selection in August 1994.
Both Marty and Karon say that when they are on stage, they don't think about the fact that they are married. Rather, they just focus on each other's talents. There's a natural dynamic and chemistry whey they perform. Just what keeps Marty going at 85 years old? Duracell batteries, says Karon.
