JEFF DUNHAM's undeniable talent has transcended the art of ventriloquism and transformed it into a cutting-edge comedy experience with his three-foot tall puppet sidekicks. His latest DVD, "Spark of Insanity," held the No. 1 spot on Amazon.com for eleven days. Both this and his previous DVD, "Arguing with Myself," have gone multi-platinum and "Spark of Insanity" continues to be one of the highest rated hour-long standup specials in Comedy Central's history. Late night television has discovered Dunham as well, including Late Night with David Letterman and more appearances on The Tonight Show than any other ventriloquist in history.
DUNHAM never travels alone and fans of all ages have fallen in love with his fast-talking and socially reckless "Suitcase Posse." First, and probably most recognizable to TV viewers, is ´Walter,' the elderly, outspoken, and politically incorrect curmudgeon who spouts his views on the foibles of marriage, politics, and anything else that needs skewering in American culture. Next is ´Peanut', a frenzied, loudmouthed, purple, loveable imp, who Walter describes as ´a Muppet on crack'. Then there's ´Jos Jalapeo', a chili pepper who teamed up with Dunham after a pogo accident in his home country of Mexico, permanently placing him "on a STEEK!" Lowest on the I.Q. chart is ´Bubba J', simply white trash and trailer park, and a true diehard beer-drinking NASCAR fan. Finally, Dunham's latest character to join the act is ´Achmed the Dead Terrorist', who thankfully has failed in multiple suicidal tasks, and has allowed Dunham to throw a spitball directly in the eye of political correctness.
