A ventriloquist? I hope it is a not a date where you want to get laid afterwards.

Rump Roast
 

We saw him last year, he did a good show, and we had a good time. If you like this kind of stuff, you should try and see Terry Fator live.

I got to see him a few years ago. He does a bit of non-puppet stand-up and then the crowd goes wild as the puppets come out.

Since it's Christmas time, I'm sure you'll get some Achmed Carols :) Enjoy the show!

Close enough for Achmed to Kill You

Btw he's in Montreal Sunday and I am planning to go. I love that guy, funny as hell

I saw him a couple of months ago and thought he was hilarious !! Walter was the best :) I'm sure you'll love it.

Got a few of his DVDs. Funny shit!

Peanut is my fave...

:thumbsup

Congratz to you! Have fun!

Friends went to see him, had a great time:thumbsup

Fuck. I was in Paris with my wife years back and went to Mouline Rouge. This guy was on stage for what felt like an eternity. I do not find him to be funny. There is nothing funny to me about quippy remarks from a puppet, continually interrupting the puppeteer with predictable comments. Weird, creepy and his mouth moves when he does it act, which is distracting.

Anyway, it was like a year later and we went there again. I remember thinking only one thought "at least that fucking idiot will not be there". Show starts... OMFG! He comes out on stage, exact same act. Line for Line. I wanted to punch our waitress. I tried drinking enough to make him funny but it didn't happen. Instead, spent the time drunk with a Serbian couple talking about their distinct lack of vowels and how unfunny Jeff Dunham is in any language and to any nationality.

I wept when years later he was on HBO all the time. I wept for comedy and its sad state.

That part always makes my gf laugh her ass off!

was great, but a bit long

specials are always great. don't know if i could take 2 hours of him though.

I caught a Terry Fator show in Vegas once. Dont see how any ventriloquist could ever touch his skill.

the way he can sing is amazing.

Give Jeff Dunham some props. He's the highest gro$$ing touring comedian.

Ventriloquism is a rough niche for a comedian, its golden days are over. (RIP: Edgar Bergen, Paul Winchell, Shari Lewis). It takes a little more skill, i.e., you have to be able to throw your voice and... you have to spend money on your dummies/puppets. Think about it, in regular stand-up, you only have to be funny (or not). You don't have to invest hours learning ventriloquy or shelling out $ for your sidekick characters.

I fucking can't stand that worthless blob of shit. I wish his dolls would do us a trick and separate his head from his neck.
