When I was a very young ventriloquist I would write bits and skits for just shocking the audience,my Sammy is a rebel child so he enjoyed acting a fool in front of an audience, mainly me being the punching bag for sammy punchlines,of course sammy acting like a out of control smart mouth brat was a ๐ณ omg! sell out skit,this was a very known comedy skit of mine where I step back and let sammy go off like a wild dog,there I stand in the shadow of sammy watching the audience enjoy the rebel child throw his cheap shots at the punching bag, this skit is a freestyle ventriloquist act so even I don’t know what sammy is going to do or say,but I am always ready to jump back in to bring it back into control, always have a plan B, this skit is a improv act,it is off the cuffs and it is a freestyle act and it was a very successful audience pleaser,I think people love to see the rebel child take down the “man” or “authority figure” maybe that’s why the sammy acting a fool act was a successful skit because here you have the little guy taking on a bigger guy and the bigger guy would be me,so I think it’s more like the little guy being a bully to the big guy… Another skit was a walk around skit,I would go out in the audience with a hand puppet to have the puppet greet people in the audience, the puppet would try to shake hands with people,the puppet would try to kiss people and hug people, some people even ran away from the puppet..why? Because the puppet was a skunk ๐ฆจ puppet that stinks, I mean this puppet STANK! the skunk puppet favorite line, “what did you expect from a skunk puppet made from a ventriloquist dirty old sock.” if you choose to use this bit routine,make sure you only use food products to create the smell,also wear one of those gloves ๐งค the doctors wear under the skunk puppet,make sure no audience members kiss the skunk or hug or touch, even though the skunk is asking for a kiss or hug or hand shake,make sure after the show you watch the skunk puppet, when traveling with this skunk skit keep skunk puppet in a trash bag,how I created the skunk smell, before I arrived at the show I put the skunk puppet in a bag with tuna juice,onions, garlic salt,and a little bit of urine,yes urine, this is the day of the show,so be sure the puppet is dry, remember you only need the scent so let that skunk puppet go swimming in that trash bag with all the stinky ingredients you put inside the bag,then let the puppet dry then put the skunk puppet in a dry clean trash bag for travel to your ventriloquist performances.. what I think about the skunk bit routine is that being a ventriloquist you only use the audiences eyes and ears with this skunk puppet bit you use the ๐ nose too!

THE FALL APART VENTRILOQUIST FIGURE
How to OMG audience, here is away to really get laughs.. during your ventriloquist act the dummy starts to fall apart, the legs fall off, the arms fall off,the eyes pop out, the mouth stop working,and for more comedy and laughter the ventriloquist uses duck tape to try to put the parts on,ending the ventriloquist act with a dummy mummy. I used this act a few times, it’s a very successful skit, because I built the fall apart body myself, the mouth wasn’t broken I just pretended like it was broken,so at the end of the act the ventriloquist figure is wrapped up in duck tape, everything except the mouth, the ventriloquist figure and the ventriloquist end the act with a song.
