Comedy Ventriloquist or Standup Comedian
Is A Comedy Ventriloquist Better Than A Standup Comedian?
You are planning an event and need live entertainment. Your group loves to laugh so someone suggested a comedy. Now you are tasked with finding a standup comedian who has material that will appeal to your audience.
We don't envy you. To determine if the comedian's material will be right for your guests, you have to watch a lot of video. The jokes blend together after awhile. Didn't you already hear that joke? Was it on another video of the comedian you are watching? Or was it said by another comedian that you have already rejected.
You may be laughing at times, but will the audience laugh? Everyone has different tastes. And will the comedian stay clean? Some members of your group can be prudish when it comes to humor.
Now you've found a comedy ventriloquist. It seems like standup comedy, yet totally different. People are convulsing with laughter on the video. You want your audience to laugh that hard. Could this be right for you?
Sure it could, and here are three reasons a comedy ventriloquist may be better than a standup comedian for your event.
1. Point Of View:
A standup comedian provides their point of view to create comedy. If your audience doesn't see things from that angle, they will not engage and laugh. A comedy ventriloquist provides several points of view using different characters. Comedy is created from this contrast. It also creates situational humor rather than the standard setup and punchline. That type of comedy appeals to a wider range of people.
2. Visual Appeal:
A standup comedian is alone on stage. If their humor isn't engaging the audience, they have nothing. A comedy ventriloquist adds another dimension. Puppets have a magnetic attraction when they come to life. Their features draw the eye. Your program suddenly becomes more visual and feels larger.
3. Depth Of Material:
A standup comedian can talk about anything. While this may give them a wide range, the depth of their material is limited. A ventriloquist can take the comedy further. The ventriloquist's puppet can do anything and share the adventure. Misunderstandings & confusion will elevate the laughs. The puppet can increase the comedy by talking about dealings with members of the audience. It allows a unique personalization of the program.
