| "Everyone
had an invisible playmate when they were young, but mine used
to talk back ... and everyone else was able to hear him."
The ranting of a mad child? Not at all. These are the words of
Brad Cummings when asked to describe his early fascination with
ventriloquism. A fascination that would lead him to become one
of today's most successful and innovative ventriloquists.
Years
of practice paid big dividends for Brad as he grew older. By the
late 70's, he packed his bags (which included his clothes , his
toothbrush, and his dummies) and left the humble security of Wellesley,
Massachusetts to pursue a career in show business. Soon after
his arrival in Hollywood, Brad became a popular performer at some
of L.A.'s most respected Comedy Clubs, including The Improvisation
and The Ice House. The early 80's gave this now seasoned performer
a chance to expand and travel with his much sought after act.
He was hired as an opening act for such stars as John Denver,
Captain & Tennille, and Dorothy Hamill. In addition to these
tours, he also starred in main showroom revues in Lake Tahoe,
Reno, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas.
All
of the above mentioned is but a precursor for what Brad Cummings
has become today. He has more than conquered the art of ventriloquism,
he has taken it to a new plateau. With his innovative approach,
unusual characters, and unique presentation, it's no doubt that
he is now a recognizable face in the media. His many television
appearances (Evening at the Improv, Comedy on the Road, Caroline's
Comedy Hour, Comic Strip Live, The Vicki Show, etc.) have allowed
millions of people to witness his ground breaking style of ventriloquism.
He can also be seen on many television commercials and is the
"on air" spokesman for Breath Assure. No wonder the
prestigious Smithsonian Magazine called him "one of today's
top ventriloquists."
And
in spite of (or perhaps because of) his breaking with the traditional
ventriloquist approach, he has also become a favorite at corporate
meetings and conventions, entertaining such companies as Fujitsu
and Toshiba, and even some American sounding companies.
As
a result of his overwhelming success, Brad Cummings now speaks
with the voice of experience ... and a good part of the time without
even moving his lips.
