On Stage
Paul Zerdin
The British ventriloquist and controversial winner of NBC’s “America’s Got Talent” 2015 is ready to charm Long Islanders with his groundbreaking act. With his winning combination of hilarious ventriloquism and impeccable comic timing, Zerdin brings to life several very different characters in his live performances, including cheeky pre-adolescent Sam, belligerent senior Albert and precocious infant Baby, as seen in his winning performance on America’s Got Talent, which has had millions of views on YouTube. His amazing skills are truly on display when he simultaneously controls all three of his quirky puppets without missing a beat.
