Jeff Dunham

Jeff Dunham is a ventriloquist and a stand-up comedian who tours with his characters to all parts of the country.

His main characters are Walter, Peanut, José Jalapeno on a Stick, Bubba J, Sweet Daddy Dee, Melvin the Superhero Guy and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

In addition to building the dummies Jeff Dunham uses in his act, he also restores antique ones as a hobby, such as The Umpire, a 6-foot-tall (1.8 m) mechanized dummy built in 1941 to work the plate at a girl's softball game, but which went unused and packed away for 50 years, before Dunham acquired it in early 2008

Jeff Dunham Characters

Walter is a retired, grumpy old man with arms always crossed in discontent. He has a brash, negative and often sarcastic view on today's world. He is a Vietnam War veteran and a former welder, and "doesn't give a damn" about anyone, especially his own wife and certain audience members.

Peanut is a hyperactive, purple-skinned "woozle" with white fur covering most of his body, a tuft of green hair on the top of his head, and one red sneaker on his left foot. Dunham explains in Arguing with Myself that Peanut is from a small Micronesian island, and that they met in Florida.

José Jalapeno on a Stick is a talking jalapeno pepper on a stick who wears a small sombrero.

Bubba J is a beer-drinking redneck that Dunham describes in Arguing with Myself and A Very Special Christmas Special as "white trash trailer park", and whom Jeff Dunham uses for humor centered on such stereotypes.

Sweet Daddy Dee is his "new manager". He calls himself a "pimp", which he says stands for "Player In the Management Profession."

Melvin the Superhero Guy wears a blue superhero costume, and is used to poke fun at superheroes. When asked about his superhuman powers, he indicates that he has X-ray vision, adding, "I love looking at boobies!"

Achmed the Dead Terrorist is the skeletal corpse of an incompetent suicide bomber, whom Jeff Dunham uses to satirize the contemporary issue of terrorism.

Der amerikanische Bauchredner und Stand-Up-Comedian Jeff Dunham ist einer der weltweit erfolgreichsten Komiker. Dank verschiedener, von ihm selbst gefertigten Handpuppen, denen er seine Stimme verleiht, hat er es zu internationaler Bekanntheit gebracht.

Seine wohl bekannteste Puppe, der tote Terrorist Achmed, der mit dem Spruch «Silence, I kill you!» für riesige Lacher sorgt, ist nur eine der Figuren, die von Jeff Dunham entwickelt wurde. Der Komiker selber spielt dabei gern den moralisch perfekten Menschen gegenüber seinen Kreationen, die sich in der Regel nicht gerade vorbildlich verhalten.

Mit seinem kürzlich erschienen Buch «All By My Selves» hat Dunham nach Millionen verkaufter DVD's und Merchandising-Artikeln sowie ausverkauften Tourneen und dem immensen Erfolg seiner TV-Serie «The Jeff Dunham Show» ein weiteres Kapitel seiner Erfolgsgeschichte geschrieben.

Nachdem das «New York Times Magazine» ihn zum «erfolgreichsten Komiker, der zurzeit in Amerika arbeitet» erkoren hatte, schaffte er es auch mit seinem Buch in die Bestseller-Liste. Im Rahmen seiner bevorstehenden Europatournee tritt Jeff Dunham am Montag, 28. März 2011 (20 Uhr) im Zürcher Hallenstadion auf.
