Ventriloquist, comedian Jeff Dunham returns to Pala in May
10 January 2013PALA, California -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Popular ventriloquist and stand-up comedian Jeff Dunham will return Friday, May 31 to the Palomar Starlight Theater at Pala Casino Resort and Spa. Dunham’s TV specials and his series were the highest-rated programming in Comedy Central history, his DVD sales have reached 7 million units, his videos have received a half-billion views on YouTube and his live concerts have become mega events played in front of sold-out arenas worldwide. Time Magazine called him “one of the most popular comedians in the United States,” and Forbes named him to its Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers three years running.
Dunham, of course, will be accompanied by his entire comedy team, which includes Walter, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving redneck, Bubba, Jr.; the furry maniac Peanut; Jose Jalapeno, the spicy pepper from South America; the bumbling, skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist; the almost as dead long-lost son of Achmed, AJ; and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy, Little Jeff.
