Todd Oliver and Friends

Depending on the buyers needs we present 30-45 minutes of clean contemporary comedy, ventriloquism, magic, music and audience participation. We present with or without the animals depending on the buyers wishes.
The comedy material is for a wide audience age demographic and we are flexible. I use my wooden headed characters who have wide appeal with endearing personalities.
We personalize the comedy event by including names of guests always in good taste.
We bring a microphone if needed, and use a very small performance space about 8 feet by 6 feet.
Irving my dog is friendly, well mannered and house broken of course! I also can include Charlie our bunny too.
We suggest the audience to be seated close to the performance area.
if our small sound system is needed we request someone to help with the loading in and out of equipment.

Would you like to meet a talking dog? A real dog that thinks “speak” means “speak your mind”? Then have Todd Oliver introduce you to his canine comedy partner, Irving the Talking Dog!
A hit with audiences across the country, nationally-known ventriloquist and comedian Todd Oliver and his amazing talking dog are joined onstage by a rotating cast of animal performers and ventriloquist’s characters (they don’t like being called “dummies”). With Todd’s friendly personality and clean, contemporary humor, it’s a comedy act that all ages can enjoy. Todd adds to the fun with magic, original music and good-natured audience participation segments, and will personalize the show for special events.
Todd Oliver’s national t.v. appearances include The Today Show, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Howie Mandel Show, Walker Texas Ranger, CNN Entertainment News, and America’s Got Talent, where he was a Top 4 Finalist, as well as The Late Show with David Letterman, where he was selected one of the world’s top 5 ventriloquists. Todd has also performed around the world, in performing arts theaters and at clubs, conventions, corporate meetings, and schools.
Join Todd, his canine cut-up Irving, and the rest of the gang for hilarious comedy, magical wonders, and original music. As Irving the Talking Dog says, “You’ll be rolling on the floor laughing!”

Self contained! we bring a portable back drop, and sound system if needed. If there is a piano or keyboard I use it for even more variety.
We request help with loading in the sound gear. Because of the live animals, outdoor performances are limited to evenings or days with temperatures not exceeding 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Normal room lighting for the living room comedy event works great.
We like to arrive before your guests arrive to set up early. Usually an hour before guests arrival.
