Jeff Dunham

 

Jeff Dunham is a hilarious stand up comedian and ventriloquist whose act will have you in stitches. Read on to find out more about this wonderful comedian and his puppets that have been dubbed The Suitcase Posse.

This lens features information on Jeff Dunham and all the puppets in his suitcase posse, and well as great videos and links so that you can find out more about this terrific comedian and his ventriloquist routine.

Who Is Jeff Dunham? 

Jeff Dunham is an American ventriloquist and a stand-up comedian. A graduate from Baylor University, he has performed on numerous comedy shows, including Comedy Central Presents in 2003.

His usual puppets include a Woozle named Peanut, a bitter old man named Walter, and José Jalapeño - a talking jalapeño pepper on a stick.

His first DVD, "Jeff Dunham: Arguing With Myself," was released in April 2006. In this stand-up offering, Jeff opens his show playing straight-man to his usual crew and includes two other characters: Sweet Daddy D and Bubba J.

His new comedy special, "Jeff Dunham: Spark of Insanity," was available at Redbox stands on September 4 2007, and was released to buy on DVD September 18 2007. The DVD features Peanut, José, Walter, Melvin the Super Hero, and Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

The DVD was taped at the Warner Theater in Washington, DC. Comedy Central aired "Spark of Insanity" on September 23 2007.Source: Wikipedia

Jeff Dunham and his Suitcase Posse 

Jeff Dunham has created a wonderful cast of characters for his comedy routine. Here is a little about each member.

Jeff has some great skits on marriage, kids, cars, and he will have you dying of laughter.

Achmed is a terrorist. A dead terrorist. Only he doesn't know he's dead. He calls Jeff "Infidel" and his best line is, "Silence! I kill you."

Walter is a grumpy old man that hates everything - especially his wife. From his views on the terrorist situation to his wisecrack about marriage, Walter will have you rolling on the floor with laughter.

Peanut is a purple woozle and he can be very annoying. His laugh is hilarious and he has a thing about getting right in Jeff's face when he wants to.

Melvin is a super hero with a few special powers. He can fly (as far as Jeff can throw him), see through clothes, and he loves to battle terrorists.

Jose is a jalepeno (on a stick). He is a secondary character to Jeff's skit with Peanut and their act will have you roaring with laughter.

What I Like About Jeff Dunham's Comedy Act 

What I like the most about Jeff's routine is his ability to switch from one character to another. He does it so smoothly and stays in character so well that you almost forget he is talking to his puppets.

Also, his puppets are so realistic. With eyebrow lifts, and facial movements you wouldn't think possible on a ventriloquist dummy, the comedy act is superb.

Jeff Dunham is my favorite comedian for many reasons and I encourage you to catch his act and see for yourself.
