The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on the standup comedy world, but it has also created a unique opportunity for those looking to study a long overlooked side of the industry — ventriloquism.
The mandate to wear protective face gear in many U.S. cities has opened the world of ventriloquism to a wide swath of talent, even those who can’t talk without moving their mouths. Yes, this long required attribute of the art can be completely skipped once you’re properly fitted for an N-95 mask or one sewn by a crafty Pinterist junkie with a sudden influx of free time.
“But wait, I’ve had no training,” you might say. Balderdash! At Ventriloquism University, we’ll teach you everything you need to know about the comedy niche and even help book you in some dive online Zoom rooms so you can begin honing your craft.
Call the V-U enrollment office today and we’ll pair you with one of our unmatched dummies so you can get started immediately. Scholarships are available!
