The dummy realizing he screwed himself over by hypnothizing his puppeteer is one of the funniest things I have seen this month.

This is the greatest. I've never seen another ventriloquist to touch Nina Conti, in 6 decades. 🤣🎶🌟👍

This is the most brilliant clip of a ventriloquist I have ever seen.

Before I watch this again I have to say that this is one of the most brilliant ventriloquist bits I have ever seen. 🤣🤣🤣

[michaelrigby]

This is the most unique variation on a ventriloquist act that I have ever seen. Just brilliant!

[autumbreeze]

"Raise your finger... No, not on THIS hand, you idiot!" Still gets me every time 😂

[ciaranwalsh]

Nina & Monkey, that was your finest hour. Absolutely brilliant.

[Maverickgrindstar]

Wow, a ventriloquist who makes "I know its a puppet" jokes and is actually funny

[FerdinandCesarano]

Nina Conti is just brilliant. Of course she has great ventriloquism talent; but she also has an actor's characterisation skill and a comedian's timing. She is a superior performer.

"Breathe, Nina, I'm dying, I need more air!"

[asperhes]

Quite an amazing talent. Nina Conti is good too.

[ncnuggets]

Probably one of the greatest on stage performances of all time. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.

[thudthud]

I like the way she does the act acknowledging that she is the one making the dummy talk. She's the one doing all the talking, singing (in a low voice), she's the one breathing etc and yet she stays in character.

"Breathe Nina...breathe Nina i'm dying. I need more air" hahaha too funny. Great performance!

[blueskinblake]

Just when you thought there was nothing new in ventriloquism.
Ha

[Rohdigum]

I don’t think people understand how much talent this is.

[mikegarippo]

She's mighty talented and clever and funny!

[Sorarse]

"No, not on this hand, you idiot." Very good.

[HowlingUlf]

"Breath, Nina! I'm dying!"
Hahaha he's not the only one. She's really good ... like REALLY good! :D

[MikeLinPA]

She did a documentary, "In Her Master's Voice". Her teacher passed and left her his dummies and other memorabilia. It was an amazing and touching show! If you enjoyed this bit, please look for it. You'll be glad you did.
