Jeff Dunham, the funniest ventriloquist on earth, returns this May (10th) to the Coca-Cola Dome with his latest worldwide tour “Disorderly Conduct” featuring all new, hilarious material. The live show will be recorded for his latest television series.

With new tricks, or rather “characters” up his sleeve, fans can see firsthand why he has been voted “the most popular comedian in the United States” and still top the Forbes Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers three years running.

Dunham has, of course, plenty of help on-stage: his entourage of signature characters who are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence.   There’s Walter, the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely red neck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from South of the border; 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.   They may have all been conceived and hand crafted by Dunham, but his characters, who are anything but dummies, have now taken on a life of their own, each with their own legion of fans.

Jeff Dunham is a phenomenally successful global entertainment brand. His television specials and series have been the highest rated programming in Comedy Central history, his DVD sales have reached seven million units, his videos have received a half a billion views on You Tube, and his live concerts have become mega-events played in front of sold-out arenas worldwide.  

Since his last tour to South Africa, that broke all box office records in 2012, Jeff debuted his latest stand-up special Minding the Monsters  on Comedy Central.  The premiere was watched by 5 million viewers, making it the most-watched broadcast of the year for the network.  The extended DVD, featuring over an hour of extra material and bonus features, became available two days later and achieved platinum status within its first week on sale.


Dunham fans will also soon get the chance to see Achmed the Dead Terrorist like he's never been seen before when Jeff Dunham’s first animated film “Achmed Saves America” premieres in March of 2014.   

As an entertainer, Jeff Dunham has truly impacted popular culture, and his character catchphrases, such as Achmed's "Silence! I Keel You!" and José Jalapeño’s "On A Steek!'", are now part of our vernacular, much to the delight of multi-generational audiences worldwide.
