Ventriloquism

think Ventriloquism is cool?

i second that notion!

oh-my-goodness.

yesterday i managed to watch this amazing stand-up comedy starring a ventriloquist and his puppet friend. i laughed till i cried, seriously. i thought to myself: why isn't ventriloquism brought back to the mainstream showbiz?

then the answer dawned upon me: because what we see is supposedly an 'illusion' and nobody pays much money watching a guy 'talking' to himself, isn't it? also, in my own opinion, ventriloquism can be pretty boring if the entertainer sucks at entertaining his audience.

moreover, there are surprisingly decreasing number of ventriloquist as a career in the world now because many believe such entertainment aren't able help them earn sufficient money for their lives so many took ventriloquism as a hobby.

there used to be this Veteran Ventriloquist in the 80's...hmm what's his name again?

oh yes! Victor Khoo & Charlie! his act with Charlie brought back many memories when i still know nuts who Britney Spears was. so my world revolved in fictional characters like Sharity Elephant or cartoon shows like Captain Planet, Barney & Friends and many others! blah blah blah oh, you get my gist.

also if you did read my previous entry, that dedication video, it was actually extracted from America's Got Talent 2007, Winner Ventriloquist Terry Fator singing live with Kermit The Frog and his puppet friend, Johnny. lovely, no?!

so back to Ventriloquism, i really wish the trend to return! it's not only back as part of entertainment showbiz, it can also inspire others to pick up this amazing form of performing arts. i won't mind paying the best priced ticket for a good stand-up in support of Ventriloquism. like juggling and unicycling, Ventriloquism is just another disappearing act that should be brought back to the scene! :)

prior to my previous entry, i found this amazing stand-up comedy of this super awesome guy Jeff Dunham who made me laugh till my guts curl into each other! sit back and enjoy this super duper hilarious video that i've mentioned earlier.
