Aidan’s worst nightmare…😅 (Never posted this on TikTok, but this was my most watched reel on IG in 2024 with 23.7M views lol) #comedy #fyp #ventriloquist #reaction
Figured it was time I re-introduce Shooster! If y’all have been following me for awhile, you’ve seen this little guy before, and this is a bit I’ve been doing for quite some time that always gets laughs. This time, Shooster drank egg nog too fast and got the hiccups 😅 What’s your take on egg nog? #eggnog #dogs #comedy #ventriloquist #hiccups #fyp
Aidan met his “evil” twin at Axtell Expressions and this is how it went down 😅 Fun Fact: I got my first Aidan when I was 16 years old and have had four of these dinosaur puppets over the past 14 years since I use this puppet the most! Definitely sending Aidan out to California for a paint job/spa day here soon 🤣 #dinosaur #puppets #ventriloquism #ventriloquist #comedy
Aidan got his marshmallow fix for the day @Dutch Bros Coffee lol. Be sure to follow my other socials (yes, I made a Red Note but haven’t posted anything on it yet 😂) #reaction #coffee #tiktokban
MY STORY: My 30th and Golden Birthday was a few days ago, so I thought I would answer my most asked question of, “How long have you been doing ventriloquism and how did you start?” with a fun little post for y’all. 😁 I’ve been doing ventriloquism for 25 years, and I became interested in puppets because of my dad! When he found out I was going to be born, he wanted to learn ventriloquism so he could read to me using puppets. So, he did! When I was five, I noticed my dad’s lips and throat move a little when he was reading to me, and that’s when I put it all together that HE was the one making them talk. As a 5-year-old, this was mind blowing news to me lol. While growing up, I knew my dad went to a puppet convention every Summer, but when I found out it was a ventriloquist convention, I REALLY wanted to go! However, my dad told me he wouldn’t bring me unless I was serious about learning the art. So, I started reading and completed a course called “Maher Course of Advanced Ventriloquism” within six months of starting it. When I was 6-years old, I performed on a stage for the very first time. I fell in love with making people laugh and still do. I took over my dad’s business “Rocky Mountain Puppets” when I was 16 years old and started performing at libraries for Summer Reading Programs on a regular basis. I went from having 16 shows my first Summer to now performing over 200 shows every single Summer. Performing was a seasonal thing for me up until I graduated from college, which brings me to what I initially wanted to do with puppets. I have always been extremely passionate about health and fitness, so I wanted to be a doctor that used puppets with kids; however, chemistry, biochemistry, and basically all the chemistries and I…did NOT have chemistry 😂. I switched my major from Pre-Med to Psychology and graduated from Colorado State in Summer 2018. What happened after college with my business is a story for another time, but this just shows you that life is full of surprises. I am extremely grateful to have parents that have supported my dreams since day one. Mom & Dad, thank you for bringing me into this world. 💕 Here’s to another year around the sun!
