2007-04 Vents Info

To all you "Vents" out there...
Just spent a delightful evening with Texas based Ventriloquist Ian Varella who just finished a month gig at Dixie Stampede. Small world all the people we both knew working ships. Ian did 30 min. for the "preshow" at Dixie with only two cloth figures and a simple cloth stand...I hate him (oh why do I love performing illusions?!?!) !He informs me that Jeff Dunham will be performing at the Orlando Improv again (seems to be annual now) this August. Saw Jeff two years ago there and he did 80 min. of nonstop very good material and most family friendly. Great show! Also...just saw that Ace Hardware is selling a bin of DVD's for just $1 each including the old Shari Lewis show. Luciano and I met her...in her Contemporary Hotel suite...at Disney World 30 years ago when her father Abe Hurwitz (sp?) visited. Abe was the Goodwill of Magic in New York City in the 40's & 50's better known as Peter Pan the Magic Man.
