Jeff Dunham
My friends and colleagues can't stop talking about Jeff Dunham. Not knowing a lot about him, I asked my friend Stacy what all the hype was about. She said his type of comedy and the variations of puppets are hilarious. Her personal favorite is Achmed the Dead Terrorist. I found an Achmed clip on youtube.com and I have to admit that is made me laugh. But how can you not when a skeleton is yelling "Silence! I kill you!"
Jeff Dunham is no dummy. Last year, his tour grossed $38 million dollars in ticket sales. Dunham also sold over 4 million DVDs and earned an additional $7 million dollars in merchandise sales. According to Forbes Magazine, Jeff Dunham ranks as the third highest paid comedian in America. He continued to build his empire when The Jeff Dunham Show premiered on Comedy Central in October. This month, Dunham will publish his autobiography “All By My Selves.” The book chronicles his life from when he bought his first dummy at age 10 to his adventures on the comedy circuit which brought him to superstar status.
Jeff Dunham is bringing his entourage of puppets and undeniable talent to the Memorial Coliseum tonight for the Spark of Insanity Tour. Tickets are priced at $42.50 and are on sale now and can be purchased at the Rose Quarter Box Office, all participating Safeway/ TicketsWest outlets, by calling 877.789.ROSE (7673), or at ComcastTIX.com.
