Featuring

Paul Zerdin

Paul Zerdin appearing at this event
Considered by many to be the man who has made ventriloquism 'cool' and with more than 3 million hits on YouTube, plus guest appearances on Comedy Rocks and the Royal Variety Performance, Paul Zerdin is, without doubt, one of the most talented ventriloquist comedians in the world. 'Paul Zerdin is in a league of his own'(Time Out) 'If you thought the words brilliant and ventriloquist could not exist in the same sentence, go and see Paul Zerdin for some brutal re-education' (Evening Standard) 'Technically immaculate, it's what he does with his slick talent that really sets him apart. His relationship with the characters has all the dramatic tension of a real life double act' (The Guardian) 'Paul Zerdin's ventriloquist act is a fun, mind scrambling experience' (The Daily Telegraph).

Keith Farnan has performed as a stand-up all over the world, from Montreal, to Amsterdam, to Hong Kong.
