“A ventriloquist for the South Park generation” The Stage
“Technically immaculate, it’s what he does with his slick talent that really sets him apart. His relationship
with the characters has all the dramatic tension of a real life double act” The Guardian
“When you are not laughing you are simply in awe” Three Weeks Edinburgh
The America’s Got Talent 2015 winner, British ventriloquist and comedian, Paul Zerdin, and his band of sharptongued characters are set to bring their comedy and hilarious antics to The Las Vegas Strip in an all-new, headlining
production from April 30th. Zerdin will be performing in Las Vegas following his Spring UK tour, ‘Spongefinger’, which is
coming to venues across the UK this April, including a three-night stint at the Udderbelly in London from April 14th16th.
On the announcement of the Las Vegas shows Zerdin said: “It’s every entertainer’s dream to have their own show on
The Las Vegas Strip. I’m thrilled that my dream is coming true, but my characters aren’t giving me a moment’s peace
before we join the ranks of other Las Vegas headliners.”
Due to these circumstances Zerdin will unfortunately no longer be touring across the UK in September and October.
However, the April dates of Zerdin’s tour are scheduled to go ahead as planned.
On the rescheduling of these dates Zerdin said: “I was really looking forward to the autumn leg of my tour but
unfortunately I have had to reschedule the September and October dates due to this great opportunity that has arisen.
Apologies to all who have bought tickets to these dates, please contact the venues for more information. Thank you to
my UK fans for your continued support and I hope to see you all very soon!”
Zerdin is arguably the UK’s number one ventriloquist and made his TV debut in 1996 as the first outright winner – by
over 100,000 votes - of LWT’s The Big Big Talent Show, hosted by Jonathan Ross. Since then he has appeared on
countless TV shows including Comedy Central's The World Stands Up, ITV1's Comedy Rocks with Jason Manford,
Tonight at The London Palladium, The Princes Trust Gala and three appearances at The Royal Variety
Performance. Winning Series 10 of America’s Got Talent in September last year, Zerdin and his sidekicks soon went
viral on YouTube, receiving millions of views from around the world. He also recently appeared on Michael McIntyre’s
Big Christmas Show on BBC One on Christmas Day.
Book now and secure your seat to see Paul Zerdin’s hilarious, award-winning and redefining puppetry work this April
before he heads off to the States again. Aided and abetted by his loveable sidekicks the precocious Baby, cantankerous
OAP Albert and cheeky pre-teen Sam, this class act is brimming with side-splitting skits, charm and above all
impeccable talent. Read our lips, you don’t want to miss this one!
Tickets for ‘Spongefinger’ are available at venue box offices and through Ticketmaster. For a full list of tour dates
