Biografia

"Peanut" is his only puppet not hand made by himself.

He owns the 1989 Batmobile from Tim Burton's Batman (1989).

Has three daughters: Bree Dunham (adopted stepdaughter), Ashlyn Dunham, and Kenna Dunham, all from his first marriage.

Received first puppet, at age 8. Was a Christmas gift from his parents.

Has been performing ventriloquism since he was eight, and has never held a "real" job in his life.

I'm a geek to the bone.

I try to make the majority of my audience laugh. That's my audience. They'll laugh at the dead terrorist.

A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.

I've skewered whites, blacks, Hispanics, Christians, Jews, Muslims, gays, straights, rednecks, addicts, the elderly, and my wife. As a standup comic, it is my job to make sure the majority of people laugh, and I believe that comedy is the last true form of free speech.

As humans we like to laugh at our fears, we like to whistle in the dark.
