Paul Zerdin is a very talented man indeed. His ventriloquist skills are so astonishing with the speed he can mix his voices. I was in the front row and after realising that I was never going to see him move his lips, was transfixed on his characters and their almost human like qualities.
I was even subject of his 85 year old puppet’s desires ! Audience interaction is an integral part of this show, don’t sit in the front row if you’re not willing to be part of the show. Hats off to Lee in lasts nights’ audience who really delivered.
The show is based around 3 puppets, but there are moments when Paul talks about using his skills in various places such as the lift and as his girlfriend’s sat nav voice.
I laughed more than I thought I would, I really went for the skill of the ventriloquism but was pleasantly surprised at the comedic content of the show since I had resisted you tubing him before I went !
Highly recommended from me and worthwhile getting in the queue early to get a seat somewhere near the front – 4 1/2 stars

Does he do his “human dummy” in this show? It’s hilarious.
OMG! I loved this show from start to finish – Ventricolee was awesome – I cannot recommend this show highly enough. I loved the ending – I nearly cried! Then laughed till I nearly choked – I would also advise taking water to this shows as it gets really hot!
He does do his human dummy and the guy last night was hilarious and totally up for it
