Behind the Scenes of My Ventriloquism Acts

I spend hours developing new material, often while testing lines on my puppets. Jack Denials, my blue monster, is particularly vocal about his disapproval of certain jokes. We experiment with crowd work and test out the human puppet mask act during these sessions. It is not always smooth, but the back and forth creates the timing you see on stage. Whether it is a corporate gig or a family event, the prep is the same. I look for the funny in everyday situations, like marriage or office culture, and then translate that into a routine. You can see how we practice for venues ranging from comedy clubs in Bangkok to private parties in Mumbai.
