Jeff Dunham Quotes & Sayings (Page 4)

“I'm a pretty good ventriloquist, but it's the entertainment value and the laughs that keep people sitting there and wanting more.”

“I'm not trying to teach anybody anything, I'm not trying to say anything, I have no political motive whatsoever. My motive is just the big laugh.”

“Math? Forget about it. If I add four plus eight plus six, I have to count on my fingers. I guess I'm hooked up differently.”

“There are not that many ventriloquists out there who build their own characters. I love that because they are uniquely mine.”

“When I was in third grade I taught myself ventriloquism... What's hard is to learn to be an entertainer and make people laugh. I was a few years out of college before I felt I had enough material. Then in 1988 I moved to L.A. and started to do some shows at comedy clubs.”

“All through college, I was searching for characters that would make me unique and set me apart from the typical ventriloquist with the typical dummy that was the little boy, cheeky hard figure like Charlie McCarthy.”

“I think maybe one reason why ventriloquists are looked down on is because it's very difficult to be funny. I think what happens is that people get a dummy, they learn the technique of ventriloquism, they memorize the script, they think they're in show business.”
