He remembers clearly the first time he saw a ventriloquist on TV and felt the first surge of desire to learn the art. By the time he was 13, David was practicing voice throwing in the classroom much to the chagrin of his teachers! His parents eventually felt he had potential and purchased for him a professional ventriloquist figure when he was 15. According to David: "It was in those early years that I discovered the exhilaration of live performance." Later, he went off to serve his country in the United States Navy, continuing his voice throwing antics in boot camp. This eventually caught the attention of his superiors and he was assigned as a DJ to radio stations in the American Forces Radio network in Cuba and Spain. This gave David a platform to continue practicing his craft. Opportunities also arose for him to pursue his academic ambitions. His undergraduate work was in broadcast journalism, and he also holds a Master's degree in Music and a PhD in Philosophy. After serving his country, David returned to the United States. He thought: "I should get a real job." So he entered the broadcasting business. This began a 20 year successful run as the Operations Director of radio stations K102 and WDGY in Minneapolis. David received many industry awards during this time including being named one of the "Top Ten Program Directors" in America by trade magazine "Inside Radio." Eventually though, the desire to experience live performance resulted in David stepping down from his post in the broadcasting business to pursue a career as an entertainer. David said, "They all thought I was crazy. You know, don't give up your day job sort of thing." Well, crazy or not, David has been crisscrossing the country with his show that features ventriloquism and music. David estimates that he has performed in front of more than a million people in his career. When asked about what drives him, David said, "Well, if you're lucky, you find out your passion in life. For me, it is laughter and music. I have been fortunate enough to do both for a living." >> Testimonials "...the best entertainment we have ever had. There wasn't a dry eye in the house thanks to David and his merry band of dummies." -GoldenWest Communication "We had a fantastic time, David was GREAT!" -Heart of the North Building Assn. "...David was one of the most outstanding banquet entertainers we have ever had...my cheeks actually hurt from laughing so hard...I would have to say AWESOME!" -WI State Telecommunications Assn. >> Basic Set-Up Needs In order to give you the best performance possible, David Malmberg provides the following information as a technical rider to his contract: Artist requests: A stage.
