Daniel Jay Robison
Ventriloquist in Warren, OH
Why hire Daniel Jay Robison?
Professional Ventriloquist that provides a unique form of entertainment that uses both ventriloquism and magic to bring laughter and entertainment to young and old alike.
Daniel was easy to communicate with through e-mail. he asked for information about the audience in advance to plan his show. He arrived early, and stayed on schedule. At times he was difficult to hear (we had an audience of 300) so I would suggest he use a lapel microphone.
Response from Daniel Jay Robison:
This was a great venue with a lot of fun people. I used their PA system and they had a stand microphone. Next time I will bring my own system with a wireless microphone system. All in all though, a great audience and really good time!

We hired Danial for our Blue and Gold cub scout event and he was a huge hit with not only the kids but the parents as well! Fuzzballs name was being chanted for an encoure and the kids wished he had never left. His witty dialog also kept the adults entertained and more then a few commented on him positively at the end of the night. His price was well worth the service we recieved and he made this years B&G the best yet for our troop.

About
Born on a cold winter's day on December 17th, 1960, Daniel Jay was always interested in the unusual. His mom (Donna) told him that he never used to watch the TV shows but as soon as a commercial came on he would run in to watch it. Growing up with Jimmy Nelson, Paul Winchell and Shari Lewis; Daniel took on ventriloquism at a very early age. One day while staying at a friend's house he got up early and ran across an album by Jimmy Nelson called "Instant Ventriloquism", he started practicing ventriloquism that day and never looked back. Ventriloquism got him in trouble more than once in class where, when a substitute teacher came in, Daniel would throw his voice and the teacher would yell at other kids. It was fun to see the others kids try to explain that Daniel was a ventriloquist and it wasn't them talking. One time in particular a teacher finally caught Daniel and made him stand out in the hallway, it just so happened that the principal was walking past and he saw Daniel and he just ask, "Throwing you voice in class again?" to which Daniel replied, "Yep!", the principal just laughed and walked away. Shortly after, the principal got Daniel his first newspaper article in the Warren Tribune. At 12 Daniel began performing and also became interested in magic. He has performed at many of the local comedy clubs and been to many of the ventriloquist and magic conventions.
