Comedy ventriloquist and winner of America’s Got Talent 2015 Paul Zerdin has announced a new touring show ‘Jaw Drop’.
The tour begins on September 2 next year, continuing until November 7 and 8 with two dates at London Leicester Square Theatre.
Previous tour ‘Puppetman’ sold out 50 dates across the UK and was extended due to public demand.
Zerdin, whose puppet characters include Sam the cocky teenager, Albert the witty 96-year old and the Baby, who believes the world around him said: “It’s a shock that I’m actually going to go out on tour again with this bunch of misfits! It wasn’t my idea it was theirs! They said if I didn’t go they’d clone me with AI and do the show without me! The lunatics have taken over the asylum! Sam is scheming, Albert’s rapping and Baby is now an influencer! Roger my American bodyguard cannot get over how small the roads are in the UK and thinks the potholes are the work of aliens!”
During the past few years Zerdin has enjoyed stratospheric success on both sides of the Atlantic and is regarded as one of the top ventriloquists in the world.
This November sees Paul returning to the Las Vegas strip to headline Harrah’s Casino, in the same room as Donny Osmond. He’s also back at the London Palladium this Christmas starring as Will Scarlet in Robin Hood alongside Julian Clary and Jane McDonald. This also marks Paul’s 30th pantomime season. Paul married his fiancé Emma in September, so finding time for a honeymoon has proven impossible! They plan to celebrate with a huge party next year.
