Overview

I am a Ventriloquist, Christian Comedian and Speaker. I am a fully ordained minister. I also have 30+ years as an award-winning ventriloquist. I have performed in Canada and the United States.
I have performed for almost every denomination, whether in church, Sunday school, seniors homes, treatment centres, camps, etc. I also spent many years performing in libraries, at fairs and festivals, not to mention hundreds of birthday parties.
I never have blue material as I am proud to have always been a family-style entertainer. Whether it is for kids, seniors or the whole family, I promise you my best!

What to expect

Whatever the event, you can expect funny, clean entertainment suitable for any member of the family. Depending on the event, Pastor Neale can customize the show with a little "inside information" from you.
If you are looking for a Christian speaker, Neale also has a background in ministry on the notorious Downtown Rast Side of Vancouver BC, and would love to share stories of changed lives.

About

Before being ordained and going into the ministry, Neale was an award-winning ventriloquist, comedian and magician. He spoke to groups of all ages and sizes across Canada and the United States.
He studied and was ordained through the Christian Leaders College in the USA and is a member of the Canadian Ministers Association of Canada. He is also a volunteer chaplain to 2 retirement residences and a local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion.
He now uses the gifts of comedy, ventriloquism and speaking to reach all kinds of groups with the message of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Whether it is a whole church, a seniors group, to kids and camp and more!
If you want good clean fun with positive uplifting message, you want Pastor Neale Bacon and Friends.

Additional booking notes

All Neale needs is a (preferably) wireless sound system with a headset microphone. Please note a podium-type mic is not suitable. Neale's preference is to be up on a stage or platform. In church settings, but please note, the worship band must be cleared away from the front of the stage so Neale can set up ahead of time. The worship team would have to play from the back of the stage area.
Standard church lighting is usually fine, but please remember that the better an audience can see Neale and his friends, the more they will enjoy his presentations.

Influences and inspiration

Neale's influences cover everything from Edgar Bergen and other famous ventriloquists to Red Skelton and other Golden Age performers.

Setup requirements

Wireless headset style microphone.
