Jeff Dunham: Proffesional Ventriliquist

Don · January 05, 2008, 07:16:08 AM

I'm not sure if everyone already know this guy or not, but he's a stand up comic that uses the art of the ventriliquist, now while you do know it is just him throwing his voice, he is good at it. All of his shows made me laugh. He can change his voice to almost any tone and has an assortment of puppets all of wich he has perfected a personality for. I have recieved the links for three of his acts.

Achmed the dead terrorist: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uwOL4rB-go
Walter grumpy old man: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kXOg23pGeA
Peanut the...strange fuzzy thing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZjMgbRUsZM

He has performed many of these acts most of wich you can find on you-tube.
his official site is: www.jeffdunham.com for anyone that is interested.

Buying or downloading the DVDs is better, tonnes more material. The guy's a god of comedy.

Just be carefully around him, especially if he's got the lotion

Eh. The guy's good at what he does and all, switching from voice to voice instantly.
But I saw him in Vegas... and I really didn't care much for him.

Maybe I'm just biased cause every poster and advertisement had him with his dragon puppet, but he only used it for, like, 10 minutes of his 3 hr act...

hmm, with just jeff dunham here, I don't think this thread will last long, maby I'll change this to a "post videos of your favorite comedians" thread...

What do you guys think?

Oh dear God, laughing so hard right now...

(And I only poked the "Achmed the Dead Terrorist" one so far...)

Right then, dunham will suffice for now.

jeff dunham is a comedic genius. it's so easy to forget the people he talks with are just puppets. i have the spark of insanity tour on dvd and it's the funniest thing i've seen yet.

Walter and Jose are my two favorites

Eh, I couldn't sit through 3 hours of any act, unless it's a concert. Dunham is funny, but his most recent act on Comedy Central didn't really do much for me. I much preferred the material he did in "Arguing With Himself." Whereas the newer one has a lot of rehashed material, and the newer stuff just doesn't get me going like the previous stuff did.

We've got a couple of his DVD's.... on a steek.

lucas marcone · January 08, 2008, 12:08:48 AM
