He truly is that good! >> Career Highlights James Wedgwood majored in Theater and graduated with a B.A. degree from Indiana. He picked up the art of ventriloquism at a young age when one of his aunts sent him a plastic dummy and an audio course on how to be a ventriloquist. From then on he studied acting, improv, and stand-up comedy before becoming a full-time ventriloquist in 1988. >> Testimonials "James was an excellent choice for our event and he did an outstanding job.

All of the people I talked to agreed that your performance was the highlight of the evening. Your talents as a ventriloquist are obvious, but what I was most impressed with was the way you observed the entire banquet and how you talked to people before your show and then incorporated some of those details into your show. You did an amazing job interacting with the crowd, and you have an uncanny ability of being able to pick the perfect 'volunteers' from the audience to participate in your shows. Your skill as a ventriloquist, your different cast of characters, and your comedic timing had all of our guests laughing and thoroughly entertained for the entire evening. I have had the privilege over the years to work with you on several different events, and your professionalism as it pertains to arriving and setting up on time, and being helpful to those putting on the event remains second to none." -Brule-Lyman County Farmer Appreciation Banquet "Just thought I would touch base with you and let you know about all of the great comments I am hearing about your show on Saturday night...I think it is safe to say that EVERYONE had a blast!

It was truly a fascinating and hilarious show in which the laughter never paused. James is truly amazing and a great performer. Just like the puppets, James had the audience in the palm of his hand." -New Prague Auto Group "The act was so much fun that people forgot how much effort and skill it took for Wedgwood to "throw" his voice..." -The Redwing Eagle "...I had the pleasure of having James Wedgwood perform in our auditorium to a very energetic and vibrant crowd.
