Ventriliquoist
The program for the luncheon yesterday featured a ventriliquoist. His name was Phil and his puppet's name was Simon. He began his program by telling us that sometimes when he's in an elevator and they play muzak, he likes to mess with people's heads by singing along with the music without moving his lips. Then he demonstrated, as though he was in an elevator and sang Luck Be a Lady. He really was good, not only with his craft but also as a singer.
He made Simon come alive to the audience. It was easy to think of him as a little wooden person because of the personality Phil gave him. He ended his program with audience participation. He got a man and two women to come up on stage and he had them be the puppets. They would open their mouths when he touched their shoulder and he would speak for them. He gave the man a high pitched voice, one woman had a man's voice, and the second woman had the dog's voice. He had them be Dick and Jane and Spot. We had a lot of laughs from his skits. We really enjoyed the program.
