Jeff Dunham is a man of many talents. He’s into building and flying helicopters. He’s a car guy with an im-
pressive collection that includes a Plymouth Superbird (Google it and thank me later). He’s also a comedian and ventriloquist. But you probably already knew that last bit.
With millions of online followers, countless fans and a seemingly endless list of sold out shows, Jeff Dunham is a legend. How legend-
ary? Forbes ranks him third on the list of highest-paid comedians in the U.S. He’s just behind Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock. Tell me that’s not an elite trio of comedic legends.
We often forget that fact – that Jeff Dunham is a comedian. Sure, he’s a ventriloquist who creates the voices, personalities and even the
dummies of his characters. But it’s his comedy that elevates him to legendary status. It’s the relatability and personal connection you get from inanimate dummies that Dunham truly brings to life. All while being funny.
Faces had the opportunity to chat with Dunham before he comes to
Ontario in early 2019. With stops in Toronto, Oshawa, Peterborough, Ottawa and Kitchener, you’ll have plenty of chances to see Jeff and your favourite characters (and some new ones) this year.
