“The Funniest Night of Your Life”

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!”
