Puppet master performs for theatre Comedian/ventriloquist Paul Zerdin, who won America’s Got Talent in 2015, is set to return to the Octagon Theatre in Yeovil. Paul, a patron of the theatre’s Name A Seat initiative, will be helping to raise funds for the redevelopment of the venue. The puppet master will be accompanied by his regular puppet playmates Sam, Baby and Albert, plus newcomers Roger, the bodyguard who claims to be ex-CIA, and a troublesome Urban Fox which follows him everywhere – most likely for the ‘snack value’. The show, which will be filmed for future release, will feature a mix of Paul’s best loved comedy along with new material he will be ‘sneak-previewing’ for his forthcoming Edinburgh
