Overview

Brian has been touted as one of the best ventriloquists ever. He has appeared on CBS and ABC TV, the Kennedy Center, The House of Blues, and concert stages and clubs throughout the US and Canada. His technique is flawless, and audiences find it hard to believe that his characters are just dolls.

His comedy is topical, insightful and just plain fun! His sidekick Jerry is able to interact with audiences of any age. The rest of Brian’s cast includes Ernestine, a feisty, older Southern lady and Shamus, a mischievous Irish leprechaun.

Brian is a world class guitarist/vocalist and he incorporates these talents into his ventriloquism show by interspersing classic fifties and sixties music.

Brian's ventriloquist skills are out of this world!!

We just wanted to let you know how very satisfied we were with the performance Saturday night. Our guests haven't stopped raving about Brian's ventriloquist skills. They really are out of this world! It is so gratifying to host an event like this and have everyone be so entertained and remain so enthused about it days after the fact. I hope you had a pleasant stay at the Newport City Inn and Suites and a nice ride home on Sunday. Thank you so much for your part in a great evening.

Brian is a multi talented performer who ignited our audience with laughter and illusion. His performance was one like no other. His interaction with the crowd was spectacular. This was the best performance we have ever seen and we look forward to seeing him perform again.

Fantastic Entertainer

Brian was the entertainer for our Annual Fall Appreciation Event held in Mansfield, MA. He is a very talented ventriloquist, showman and musician. We had so many laughs during his performance. We hold this event annually and always have entertainment, and I think Brian's show was definitely the favorite. Everyone is still talking about how much they enjoyed his performance. I would definitely recommend Brian. He is a fantastic entertainer and he puts on a great show.

Great Job!!

Brian is very talented! Even though I was sitting close to the stage I couldn't see his mouth move. There was very funny banter going back and forth between Brian and his dummies. He was able to keep the act clean, for all to enjoy.
