Ventriloquism Gets a Makeover
Won Over By Reality
By Tim Bayer
BRIGHTON New York—(Weekly Hubris)—6/10/2013—Last week, I posted a blast from the past when I shared a new, CGI-gussied-up re-creation of the old Coyote and Road Runner cartoon in my column titled, Coyote & Road Runner: New Again.
This time, I’m offering readers another upgrade: a reboot of a tried and true comedy staple, ventriloquism.
This video came in compliments of Burt Kempner, and it’s laugh-out-loud funny. The creative engine for this interpretation is Nina Conti, who adds a couple of new talking heads to the old art of throwing voices.
I hope you like it as much as I did. Take a break for laughter: click the link.
