Ventriloquism

For a while I considered this form of entertainment as 'old hat'. But after looking about on I've found some sketches that show just how good the art still is.

This first one shows just how masterful Ray Allen was:

Something a little more up-to-date is this:

And although I suppose this isn't ventriloquism, Rod puts so much personality into Emu:

Is there anyone else that knows on any acts that are worth a watch?

Nina Conti, I like her.

You've got Jeff Dunham.

I know a lot of people don't like him, but I think he's pretty talented.

I like ventriloquism - I have to put my hand up

I have to say I can't stand Jeff Dunham, not helped by the the thousands of people who send me links to the Achmed sketch.
I don't like being told what to watch.
Nina Conti isn't that bad, but I've her material get very old very quickly.
