“As a ventriloquist, I can get away with jokes that other comedians can’t,” explains Paul Zerdin. “I’ve got the luxury of taking the p*ss out of myself, but through the characters, rather than me just being relentlessly self-deprecating. 

“I can get away with having a go at the audience much more, too; you get to be cheekier. Mocking the front row is a trademark of my characters, but I’m evolving my audience interaction beyond that.” 
Comedian & ventriloquist Paul, who won the 10th season of America’s Got Talent back in 2015, here returns to the Midlands with brand-new show Jaw Drop.
