J.P. Patches and the Seafair Hydroplane races are Seattle institutions that go hand-in-hand as far back as most of us can remember!

In October of 1980, the J.P. Patches show held an election for the Mayor of Pugetopolis between J.P. Patches and Boris S. Wort.

Before the invention of the internet, before "memes" and the latest trends going "viral", the equivalent would be people repeating popular comedians' jokes and catchphrases.

Most Patches Pals would agree that J.P. rocks, but I’ll bet most of you don’t know about The Clown’s connections to Rock ‘N Roll and how he had a strong influence on local musicians.
