Here is Bob Abdou (AKA Mr. Puppet) at a recent show with his recently painted partner. As you can see in the photo, Bob is leaving a memorable impression on these kids, especially the little boy who seems to mesmerized by Bob little partner!
So this brings me to a question. At what age were you bit by the ventriloquism bug?
Thank you for sharing this picture Bob, it is priceless!!
6 years old.
ReplyDeleteI was bitten hard at about six, and got my first figure at 7:)
ReplyDeleteI was 19. A lot of people told me I ought to get into it because of my personality and humor, but I just wasn't interested. I got into it because I was told I probably couldn't do it, anyway. I thought, "Who do you think YOU are," and I've been doing it ever since. I found out several years later it was a set-up to get me to do it. I then thanked the parties responsible.
