Diana came and did a performance for our Summer Reading Program. We had about 90 kids show up for the show. It was fun, funny, interactive and smart! Diana took the time to make a show that followed our ocean theme. It was great!

Above my expectations

Diana was fantastic at our cubscout banquet. She even added some scouting material in her act. She showed up early to set up as not to disturb our awards ceremony. All the kids were laughing and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Thank you for making a great party.

Christmas Show Booking!!

I recently booked Diana Rockwell as the headline act for our on-line “Ladies In Ventriloquism” Christmas Show for 2020. I must add, I couldn’t have made a better choice. She was amazing!!!
I have followed Diana’s work as a Ventriloquist for several years. Her skill and technique as a ventriloquist are second to none!! She brings each character to life with amazing skill delivering hilarious and spellbinding entertainment.
Diana is a true professional. She goes the extra mile to deliver quality service.
I cannot recommend Diana enough.
Sincerely,
Trish Dunn

Ventriloquist Plus

Diana Rockwell Ventriloquist, Singer, Q & A which leads into Improv Interaction with the audience. With her steady as she goes lip control ventriloquism is nicely done as comedy goes back & forth along with singing which adds in like the bonus round. Also moe audience participation. After the show it's worth it to have her stick around & do Caricatures. This was done more as a family show so it was for children & adults. Looking forward to having her back again & enjoy her with adults when the children are left home.
Thank - You for sharing your talents with us.

Kids laughed hard & loved it

We tried something new for the kids this year and found Diana Rockwell. She had the kids involved. I saw 2 boys in the front row that were laughing so hard, they couldn't stop! A great show and it was loved by both the adults and the kids! She's on our list to call for next years De Soto Days festival.

A great time with Diana and "Salty" at the Richland Library!

Diana, Salty the Snail and the talking donut appeared at our facility's Christmas parties. She had them laughing and was so easy to work with. We had 2 parties and she worked with us doing both the parties. She interacted with the citizens and they enjoyed her immensely. They want her to return again.

Wonderful Performance!

Diana performed a show for my daughter's 6 year old birthday party. There were kids ranging from 18 months - 8 years old and they all just loved it! There was nonstop laughter and it was very evident they enjoyed the show (as well as the parents)! Diana was wonderful with them and even let them come up after the performance to "meet" the puppets individually. Definitely recommend and would use her again in a heartbeat!

Diana and Ira the Heart are a great act!!

Diana did an Earth day themed story time for our Youth Services department at the library. Her act was very, very funny. Her book choices were very good and age appropriate. She really puts an actual personality to Ira the Heart so that it feels like a two person show. Her and Ira have great exchanges and she saves the best punchlines for him. Their performances are really memorable-and Ira sings!

What to Expect

An experience like no other! I can guarantee what you're looking for and then some with a totally unique show featuring several puppets to choose from.

About

My name is Diana L. Smith, a.k.a. Diana Rockwell. I am a professional ventriloquist. I have been performing for 12+ years and it is, without of doubt, my number one passion. I graduated with a BFA in Expanded Media (focus in performance art) from the University of Kansas in 2010. I started out as a painting major, but made the switch once I developed a passion for ventriloquism. Ventriloquism started as an odd intrigue, but later became my bread and butter. It was the Goosebumps book "Night of the Living Dummy" that sparked an interest during my youth. The magical incantation "Karru Marri Odonna Loma Molonu Karrano" from that book is tattooed on my right arm. It is a fictitious language, but holds personal sentiment for me.
Because of ventriloquism, I have had opportunities to travel all over and perform for thousands of people. One of the best days of my life was being awarded The Clinton Detweiler Scholarship in 2015. I was selected by AGT winner, Terry Fator. When I am not performing, I am teaching courses in ventriloquism through a site called Outschool. I am also the author of the book "Experimental Ventriloquism," which is about using principles from fine art and applying them to a ventriloquist act. So sit back and enjoy the show :)
