From stadium stages with Coldplay to a 100-year-old family legacy, here is a look at the puppetry moments that have defined my career.
This video captures the electrifying moment my team and I shared the stage with Coldplay on their India tour. It was an honor to be selected by their management and perform with our puppet band, 'The Weirdos,' bringing a unique Indian puppetry flavor to a global music event.
Holding the WOW Award Asia 2025 for 'Best Innovative Act' for our puppetry in the Coldplay concert is a moment of immense pride. This award recognizes our effort to push the boundaries of puppetry and integrate it into large-scale, modern entertainment.
It was a privilege to collaborate with Aamir Khan and the Paani Foundation. Here I am with him, discussing the giant puppets we designed to tell the powerful story of farmers' struggles and triumphs at the Farmer Cup 2023.
This is what my family's legacy looks like on stage. Performing with my wife Rujuta and our daughter Neeva, the fourth generation of Padhye puppeteers, at the European Marathi Sammelan in Leicester. We bring a century of art and laughter to every show.
A grand finale moment from our televised Zee Marathi special, "Ardhavatrao 100 Not Out." This image showcases the scale and vibrant diversity of our productions, featuring a full cast of puppeteers, dancers, and our most beloved puppet characters.
Here's a clip from one of my stand-up ventriloquism sets. My shows are a mix of clean comedy, witty banter, and audience interaction, perfect for corporate events and ticketed shows where adults want to laugh out loud.
The energy from a live audience is everything. This picture, filled with the smiling faces of children and families at a Lokmat Campus Club event, is why I do what I do. My goal is to create joy and laughter for audiences of all ages.
Representing India on a global stage is an incredible honor. This photo is from the World Puppet Carnival in Russia, one of the many international festivals where we've had the privilege to share our traditional and modern Indian puppetry with the world.
Beyond the stage, I am passionate about passing on this art form. This video shows a glimpse of one of my workshops, where I teach the basics of ventriloquism and puppetry to enthusiastic young learners at our studio.
The iconic Tatya Vinchu, a character created by my father, joins me in this public service announcement. We use our popular puppets to spread important messages, like this campaign for the Election Commission of India encouraging everyone to vote.
About Featured
When you book me, you are not just hiring an artist, you are getting a full production experience. I manage everything from the sound check to the script customization, ensuring the humor lands perfectly whether I am performing for corporate leaders or a wedding audience. My goal is to make sure your guests focus entirely on the characters, not the mechanics of the show.
A Century of Puppetry on Stage
Puppetry is not just a performance for me; it is a family legacy. My father, Ramdas Padhye, built this foundation, and I have spent my career modernizing it. Whether I am sharing the stage with Chris Martin during a Coldplay tour or bringing giant 12-foot puppets to life for the Paani Foundation, the core remains the same: storytelling.
Why Choose My Shows?
I bring a blend of ventriloquism, stand-up comedy, and musical elements to your event. Unlike standard acts, my performances are:
- Fully Customizable: I do not believe in one-size-fits-all scripts. For corporate clients, I offer roasts of leadership and brand integration. For weddings, I focus on family roasts and interactive improv that gets the guests laughing.
- Multilingual: I perform in English, Hindi, and Marathi, making it easy to connect with diverse audiences across India.
- Technically Sound: I perform with professional head-worn microphone systems and carry my own technical team to ensure a seamless show without audio glitches.
What to Expect
If you are hiring a ventriloquist in Mumbai or across India, communication is key. I typically engage in a pre-event call to understand your audience and event flow. For birthday parties, I keep the energy high with 45-minute interactive comedy sets. For corporate events or wedding sangeets, I offer structured, 60-minute segments that fit perfectly between other scheduled activities. I am transparent about my tech requirements, and I handle all the coordination with your event planners, so you have one less thing to worry about on your big day.
