VENTRILOQUIST
The amazing art of ventriloquism performed by a professional ventriloquist leaves audience members in stitches while simultaneously scratching their heads, asking “How’d he do that?!” If you’re hoping to add some variety to your next business retreat, educational meeting, corporate convention or many other kinds of events, consider letting a ventriloquist comedian do the trick—or rather, his or her many clever tricks—to put your audience into a state of stomach-clenching laughter.

Surprisingly, the practice of ventriloquism was originally religious. In the culture of ancient Greece ventriloquism was called “gastromancy,” reflecting the Greek word for “stomach.” Those who had the skill of gastromancy were said to be able to convey the messages of the dead, who the Greeks thought lived in the stomach of the original ventriloquists. Ventriloquism continued to be associated with spiritual matters and even witchcraft through the dark ages until it finally earned its place on performance art stages in the 1800s. Since then, countless ventriloquists have mastered the art of puppetry that often accompanies ventriloquism, using their alter-ego as a foil to the comedian’s straight-man personality. The ridiculous setup comes equipped with many hilarious comedy jokes that are sure to leaving an audience laughing until they cry.

A modern day ventriloquist is a master of puppets, often times delivering comedy monologues through the visage of a ventriloquist dummy. As such, a ventriloquist is a specialized version of a stand up comedian. Let’s face it: what could be more funny than watching a grown man talk to an oversized doll? Some of the most famous ventriloquists include Edgar Bergen, whose pal Charlie McCarthy, accompanied him in many famous films and on the stage. Today, Terry Fator, a comedian and ventriloquist from Mesquite, Texas, is one of the most famous ventriloquists, having won the 2007 season of America’s Got Talent.
