No matter who you are or what your station in life, a good laugh is always great therapy.
If you can laugh at yourself, it's great therapy! Any good comedian can make us laugh, but it takes one with exceptional insight into our feelings, prejudices and everyday experience to strike a chord and have us holding our sides and belly-laughing at the ironic humor of it all.
Jeff Dunham and his puppets are an unforgettable show.
Get yourself a pair of Jeff Dunham tickets and get ready for a rare treat.
Jeff Dunham says he has never had a "real job", but he's been in the business of comedy for almost thirty years.
Born in Texas in 1960, he found his calling, without a doubt, while still in college at Baylor University.
That is where he introduced Jose Jalapeno, the morose pepper-on-a-stick whose laconic one-liners are just getting better as time goes on.
When Johnny Carson had him on stage in 1990 and he brought down the house, his career was established.
He has received the Lifetime Achievement Award (1998) and has been named the Funniest Male Stand-Up Comic at the American Comedy Awards, an honor he shares with names like Jerry Seinfeld, Jeff Foxworthy and Robin Williams.
Jeff Dunham is attracting millions of viewers and making fans out of them, not only on stage, but in television and on DVD As well as appearing on shows like "Good Morning America", and "Entertainment Tonight", Jeff Dunham has had several memorable television specials.
In 2006 he brought us one called "Arguing With Myself", in which he brings out Bubba J, the definitive "redneck" who loves beer and Nascar, and Sweet Daddy D, the P.
I.
M.
P.
who is a "Playa In a Management Position" (and Jeff's manager, to hear him tell it.
) A second special in 2007 is called "Jeff Dunham: A Spark of Insanity", and on this one you get to meet Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
There's also the 2008 "Jeff Dunham's Christmas Special" on Comedy Central, which turned out to be the top-rated telecast in the history of the network.
If you caught any of Jeff Dunham's specials, you'll want to watch them again; if you missed them you really need to get the DVD! You do not want to miss this hugely talented and marvelously funny fellow.
When Jeff Dunham gets to "arguing with himself" (and his extremely impolite puppets), he's rowdy and bawdy and "right on!" He and his suitcase of stars are rude and obnoxious and just as real as the guy next door - and a LOT funnier! So get yourself some Jeff Dunham tickets or purchase a DVD, and prepare to be hilariously entertained.
When you meet Jeff and some of his "dummies", you may forget that just one guy is doing all the talking.
Jeff Dunham's talent is such that has been voted "Ventriloquist of the Year" two times, an honor no one else has achieved.
One of the reasons for his allure is that his really smart "dummies" are so believable.
One critic has remarked that "they have more personality than some people I know!" Go see them in action and you will undoubtedly agree.
Go see this guy and his band of rogues.
It's an experience not to be missed! You can get tickets online if you move fast, but at the rate they're selling, it would be wise to get on the e-mail list for ticket availability.
This month (February) Jeff Dunham and the gang will be at locations in Illinois, Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky and Mississippi, and onward from there to Texas, Georgia and Florida.
They'll be coming to your neck of the woods soon, so get a move on! Everybody knows somebody like Walter, or maybe Bubba J, or any of the others.
They are all imminently familiar, and they will strike a chord and ring a bell and make you laugh like you haven't in a long time.
Jeff Dunham is not only a marvelous ventriloquist; he's got a very sharp mind, and it makes his humor relevant and unforgettable.
Don't miss your chance to get some Jeff Dunham tickets, or one of his DVD's.
He will most certainly put some laughter in your life!
