Canada’s top ventriloquist, Michael Harrison, is touring his hit show Ventastic: Reimagining the Art of Ventriloquism to the Anvil Theatre on January 31.
Having appeared on America’s Got Talent, Harrison has risen to become one of the most booked comedy ventriloquists in the world. He is an equally talented comedian and master showman who combines his many skills into the laugh-out-loud show Ventastic, which has headlined Disney Cruise Line sailings for more than 20 years. He turns ventriloquism upside-down with one-of-a-kind routines, pulling back the curtain on the boundless imagination that fuels his show.
With more than 3,500 performances in over 40 countries, Harrison ignites a spark in his audiences, encouraging them to chase their creative passions—no matter how unconventional. His message is simple: Embrace creativity and chase your dreams with everything you’ve got.
Ventastic runs at 2 pm and 7:30 pm. Tickets are available through the Anvil Theatre.
