A Forgotten Art?

"... explored with a level of controversial humour..."

Jeff Dunham is the only person ever to win the "Ventriloquist of the Year" Award twice and he has drawn praise the world over for his comic technique and timing.

However, some have accused Dunham's characters of being racist caricatures, sexist, and homophobic and on occasions he has fallen foul of the Adveristing Standards Authorities.

As a standup comic, it is my job to make the majority of people laugh, and I believe that comedy is the last true form of free speech."

It has been said that Dunham's act is not funny on its own merits, and that his material gets a greater reaction because of the puppet characters that it would otherwise not garner by itself. I leave it to you to decide....
