To his credit, Dunham did show a pinch of wit at the end with quick responses to a series of audience questions for Walter.

Plus, they had a chance to catch one of those free flying dolls Dunham fired off with a T-shirt cannon at the end of the night. Even worse was Dunham's offensive use of an effeminate voice to mimic a homosexual person.īut hey, because there were two hours of material, people were technically getting a lot of show for their money.
These weren't jokes so much as excitable statements spoken with funny voices. And his old-man puppet creation Walter had a whole lot of groaners about. When Dunham "accidentally" touched his Little Jeff dummy in the groin, the puppet likened him to, you guessed it, a Catholic priest. So with wit largely absent Thursday, Dunham presented a parade of one-note puppet creations and material so lazy and broad it required no mental power whatsoever for understanding the "punchlines."įor instance, take Dunham's "dig" at Obamacare, as presented by his Achmed the Dead Terrorist character: "It takes away your old health plan and then makes it impossible to sign up for a new one." Or Achmed's "slam" at Miley Cyrus: "Three months before she's making a living on a pole in Las Vegas." Comedian and ventriloquist Jeff Dunham put the dumb in dummies at the BMO Harris Bradley Center on Thursday.īut, judging by the hunched-over, tear-wiping, laugh-until-you-cough-violently guffawing around me, apparently it's exactly what the people wanted.Ĭlever doesn't get one of the highest-grossing comedians in the country a crowd of at least 8,000 people in Milwaukee on a cold Thursday night.
