Happy New Year!
I’ll have to share my broken resolutions with you some other day (I’m still busy fracturing them as we speak), but thought that you would enjoy this little clip I received via e-mail today.
I have always been fascinated by ventriloquists, mostly because I find it rather odd that there is an entire class of people who live their lives in a most unusual way. Hours upon hours spent alone with a doll.
In this solitude, they work up routines that allow some alter-ego to emerge—and the targets of the humor often look at—and blame—the dummy rather than the stiff-lipped real person next to him…uh…it.
Of course, I respect the talent, the craft, the performance. Even if it is a little weird.
Check out this clip—a ventriloquist by the name of Paul Zerdin, who uses a REAL PERSON as the dummy. This is funny:

Hats off to that poor audience member who arrived at the show expecting to BE entertained—rather than himself BEING the entertainment.
Good sport.
