Jeff Dunham Tickets: Wildly Offensive, yet Witty, Puppets
Jeff Dunham and his Offensive yet Witty, Puppets

Jeff Dunham - like many other comedians - will have you rolling on the floor with laughter. Jeff; however, does have a bit of a different niche. He uses puppets in his comedy acts; he can plead innocent to any crude remarks, as it is usually the puppet making them. His tours sell out quickly forcing management to add additional appearances. Jeff is performing many live shows, has sold millions of DVDs, and has recently reached the multi-million sales mark.
Jeff was born in'68, in Dallas, Texas. Dunham is no longer alone, as he was when he began standup, as his wife and three children fully support him and his career.
In'80's, when he and his puppets began to be noticed, he began performing at comedy clubs along with popular TV shows like the Late Show with David Letterman, Johnny Carson, Star Search, and even Comedy Central Presents.
Around this time is when Jeff began creating puppet characters to add to each performance. Each act was performed by a different character, which he created, whom he would store in a suitcase - on stage - and pull him out at just the right times. Achmed the Dead Terrorist, Walter, Jose Jalapeno on a Stick, and Sweet Daddy D. are just a few of his most infamous puppets.
Jeff creates each of these puppets to intermingle - perfectly - to a story of comedy. One of the longest stories is about Walter, man who has been married for 48 years, and is extremely grumpy. This grumpy old character has very strong - and possibly offensive - views on the world as a whole. This entire story, or show, is molded around Walter freely voicing his dislike for humanity - whether you are in the audience or are his wife - it is all the same to him.
Another crowd pleaser is Achmed the Dead Terrorist. While Jeff - and his puppets - are normally welcomed with open arms, this particular character has been banned by the South African Advertising Standards Authority due to comments made against certain religions. Creatively, Achmed is the skeletal remains of a suicide bomber, and is known for his hideous screams of "I KILL YOU" and for his joyous rendition of "Jingle-Bombs".
His family could just possibly be where he gets his creativity; after all, look at Melvin the Superhero.
Amazingly, this characters costume was actually purchased from eBay, perhaps a possible insight from one of his children. This new character helped to ring in additional sales and fans! Dunham has filmed many appearances like "Arguing with Myself", "Spark of Insanity", and "Jeff Dunham's Very Special Christmas".
Jeff has a special touch in this niche of comedian / ventriloquist. He brings his puppets to life, literally from a suitcase, and indulges in comedic dialects in front of thousands of fans. Whether crude or not, Jeff makes many laugh over subjects that are typically considered to be a bit touchy. His approach to comedy is nothing short of astonishing.
