by Al Stevens
CONTAINS SOME "PG-13" RATED MATERIAL
|
 |
Brand new from ventriloquist, comedian, musician. figure maker and author Al Stevens.
This is certainly not your typical book of scripts. Al has always leaned towards the night club style of comedy when he writes and performs.

A wide range of material is included for the typical "cheeky boy" figure, an old lady spinster, an old man character, a mentally unstable figure, robot, gorilla and much more. |
Nearly 40 scripts (and 148 pages) that can be used as individual bits, or strung together to make a full routine.
These are tested routines that Al uses in his current show with great audience response.
The material ranges from G-rated to PG-13 (maybe one or two R words).
Open the book and prepare to add some really funny humor and huge laughs to your show.

BRAND NEW BOOK! -
Armed and Dangerous-
The Performer's Guide to Dealing with
Hecklers and Interruptions
by James Brandon
THE COMPLETE ORIGINAL ONLINE COURSE NOW IN BOOK FORM!
CONTAINS SOME "R" RATED MATERIAL - MUST BE 18 to ORDER!
|
 |
This new book (which was originally a 35 part online course) might possibly be the most comprehensive book ever written on dealing with hecklers and interruptions in a show.
The book also includes over 800 (that's right, 800) put-downs and heckler lines for use in nearly every situation you might face on stage.
When you are on stage, you MUST be in control. In control of yourself and in control of the room in which you are performing.
Most perfomers would prefer to step out on to the stage without fear of interruption at all. But the real world of professional performing can present an entirely different series of challenges than the "smooth sailing" shows we all dream about.
Whether you're a pro, semi-pro or amateur, the chances are |
that you are going to get a tough crowd every once in a while. The more shows you do and the more types of venues you perform in, the chances increase that you will be faced with a distracting audience member or an unexpected situation during your show.
That being said, this may NOT be the book for you. It's written by a professional for those who really want to know how to handle hecklers and interruptions in your show.
It pulls no punches. Handling hecklers the right way is not easy.
"Armed and Dangerous" certainly tells you how to gently handle the occassional heckler who responds to a stock "heckler stopper" line.
But it also covers in great depth the information you need to stay in control of yourself, your show and the audience when a major confrontation with a heckler occurs.
That's why this book in being given an "R" rating and only being offered to those over 18 years of age. There are some stronger language comebacks in the book.
Note: The vast majority of the book is NOT "R" rated content. Most of the content is for any audience and appropriate in the majority of situations. But the additional, stronger material is included because it may be necessary in some instances and you need to know the right way to deliver it.
Hailing from the UK, author James Brandon is an entertainer with more than twenty years of experience under his belt. From cruise ships to cabaret, theatre to television and a wealth of radio experience, he has learned his craft in almost every area of the entertainment business.
His clients and appearances include: Mercedes, Reuters, Alton Towers, Tussauds, The London Dungeon, AT&T Communications, countless theatres and many others.
He currently makes regular appearances for the BBC on Radio Sheffield, BBC Radio Leeds and BBC Radio York.
James has entertained in most every corner of the world, equally comfortable with his comedy act, as a singer or working as a magician & illusionist. It's a job that's seen him win a host of awards over the years and for his magical talents he was invited to appear in the British Magical Grand Prix at the Opera House, Blackpool.

James knows what he is talking about. There is no other book or course on the market that covers as much on the topic of hecklers and show interruptions.
Here is a partial list of topics covered in great detail in "Armed and Dangerous":
Topics include:
Again, this is not just a book of one line zingers. It's a complete course on professionally handling nearly any and all situations of hecklers and interruptions in your show.
Profusely indexed, cross-referenced and catagorized, it's a cinch to find the exact information you need quickly and easily in the book.
See what it's like to feel the confidence of knowing you are ready to handle any situation to keep control of your show!

BRAND NEW BOOK! -
Ventriloquism: Art, Craft, Profession
by Al Stevens
Foreword by Tom Ladshaw
|
 |
A note from Lee Cornell:
So, you've read a book or two and think you know everything you need to know about the craft and profession of ventriloquism.
I would have to say you are sadly mistaken.
Al Stevens' new book is one of the finest and most COMPLETE resource books on the art of ventriloquism I have ever read.
There is so much information packed into this nearly 300 page book, it will astound you.
I consider it one of the top books I've ever read on the subject of ventriloquism, performing and show business. |
Al has been a professional musician, comic, ventriloquist, figuremaker and author for over 50 years. This book was 8 years in the making. It contains topics never before covered in any other book of it's kind.
I've read nearly every book, listened to every audio product, watched every DVD on "vent" (and produced one of the best selling instructional video courses ever offered - Ventriloquism 101) and still learned so much more in this book - All based on Al's decades of experience in show business.
Sure, he teaches you, in his own way, the "how-to" part of being a ventriloquist, but it is all of the other information in this book that can take you to the next level - no matter where you are in your ventriloquism "journey" - beginner or professional.
Let me make this clear - this book is a must have for anyone who calls themself a ventriloquist or perfomer. No matter what you think you know already.
Just take a look at the list of topics covered in great detail in this all encompassing guide to the profession of ventriloquism:
Topics include:
These main subject headings only scratch the surface. All of these topics are broken down into several smaller sub-topics that cover so much more.
The book is easy to read and understand and is guaranteed to be a resource you will refer to again and again.
The book also contains lots of ventriloquist photos from Al's personal collection.
Invest in your copy right now. Become a better performer. Learn the ropes from a real pro and true gentleman. This book is going to be the topic of much discussion in the world of ventriloquism as the "go to" guide for performers.
It's all about the Art, Craft and Profession. And Al covers it all.

PUNCH!
Six Sure-Fire Techniques To Add Punch To Your Comedy Material
by Tom Ladshaw |
 |
Another sell-out at the 2009 Vent Haven International Ventriloquist Convention.
This great little booklet is based on the standing room only lecture Tom presented at this years convention, which was attended by over 425 entertainers.
In addition to being a full time magician, ventriloquist, author and comedian, Tom is also known in the entertainment business as a first-rate professional comedy writer.
|
He not only writes his own comedy material, but has also spent many years writing routines and bits for other professionals.
This booklet teaches you 6 specific techniques that will help you take your routine from "chucklesville" to "guffawtown."
Let's face it, one of the hardest things about putting together a routine is making it truly funny. You end up settling for "cute" bits to fill out your routine, but don't really get "rolling in the aisles" laughter from your audiences.
In PUNCH!, Tom has concisely explained these 6 techniques, the theory behind why they work and actual examples.
These are the same methods today's top comedy pros use to make their acts funny.
If you want to create original material, or add more zing to your existing material, Tom's new book will enable you to quickly and easily add PUNCH to your comedy.
And, be sure to check out Tom's "PUNCH!" DVD which was recorded live at the 2009 Vent Haven International Ventriloquist conVENTion HERE. It makes a great companion to the PUNCH! booklet.
Very funny book introduction by "Super Dave Osborne."
If you've invested in any of Tom's other publications, you know what a great value this resource is.
PUNCH! , Only $10

Does this sound familiar?
You have a good show. But, try as you may, you can't seem to get the number of shows you want, or work in the quality of venues you want to perform in.
You are not making any money. In fact, by the time you figure your time driving to the gig, the setup, tear down, gas and other expenses, you are actually losing money. You're stuck and frustrated in this world called show business.
How can you take your show to the next level and make the serious income you need to even think about living your dream and performing full-time? What are the secrets other professional performers use to book all of the shows they want, make the money they want and really live the "show business" life?
You'll find the real world answers to all of your questions in a new course unlike anything else on the market. There has never been anything ever published to this level of detail on how to (and what it takes) to make it in show business. Period.
It's called the "Breaking Down the Brick Walls of Show Biz Quantum Leap Course " by full time comedian ventriloquist Ken Groves. This course can take you from "nothing" all the way to a fully running entertainment business.
And let me clarify. This is NOT just a program for ventriloquists. Yes, Ken is a ventriloquist. But he specifically created this program for anyone in the entertainment business - including comedians, magicians, jugglers and clowns.
Ken has been working as a full time performer in nearly every venue since 1985. Some clients include: Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, Holland America Cruise Lines, Riviera Hotel, Aladdin Hotel, Tropicana Hotel and The Imperial Palace - all in Las Vegas.
He's appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show, The Sattler Brothers Show, CNBC's America's Talking Show and After Hours.
He has performed for dozens of colleges all across the U.S. and has toured with the U.S. Army.
Other corporate clients include Ford Motor Company, B.P. America, Goodyear, Frito-Lay, Pepisco.
Ken is also a very in demand trade show and convention performer.
And, he is a member of the Vent Haven Museum Board of Advisors.
The list goes on and on.
Am I listing all of these credentials to impress you? Well, yes. Sort of.
I want to impress upon you that Ken knows all about show business and what it takes to make it in this field. He learned the hard way by making a lot of mistakes along the way. Ken knows what he is talking about.
He is now willing to reveal everything he knows about show business in his "Breaking Down the Brick Walls of Show Biz" course.
Here's what you'll receive.
Part One:
"Breaking Down the Brick Walls of Show Biz" Book
Ken's original version of this book was jammed packed with tons of information in it's 79 pages.
For this new course, the book has been updated, revised and expanded to 160 pages! These are the real nitty, gritty facts you need to make it in show business. Ken tells it like it is. You may not want to hear some of this, but Ken pulls no punches to help make you the best entertainer you can be.
Again, Ken is letting you in on over 20 years worth of the real meat behind the business of show business
Here is just a taste of the topics in this amazing book:
As an extra bonus, the book also contains 26 different documents that Ken is including as "Copyright Free" for you to model and use in your business!
All kinds of forms, promotional samples, letterheads, phone call question sheet, sample contract, end of month report sample, stage and audience layout customer sheet, advertising samples and more.
These are the same documents Ken uses in his own business everyday.
How much time and/or expense would it take for you to create all of these documents yourself? Ken has done the work for you.
Part 2:
"Breaking Down the Brick Walls of Show Biz" Audio Interviews on CD
In this 6 hour WAV file audio CD *(plays on your computer)*, Ken expands even more on the contents of his book.
Interviewed by the author of the famous Killer Stand-Up Comedy System, Steve Roye, these guys leave no stone unturned in this fast paced, entertaining, step by step audio guide to being successful as an entertainer. Steve grills Ken on all of the topics he knows you want to hear about.
Part 3:
"Breaking Down the Brick Walls of Show Biz-Live!" DVD
Recorded live at the 2008 Vent Haven International Ventriloquist ConVENTion, Ken cuts right to the chase and through the bull on this broadcast quality DVD to give you his most important tips, tricks and advice for making it BIG in the entertainment business.
Over 440 people attended the convention this year and Ken's presentation had the attendees buzzing about how great the information was.
Now, how much do you think a course like this is worth? You have a full time performer with 20+ years of experience revealing all of his best ideas to help you become a great entertainer and make a lot more money as a performer.
I ask you again. What do you really think the value is to have access to all of this knowledge?
It amazes me how many ventriloquists spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on puppets and dummies, thinking "All I need is one more new puppet and I'll finally become successful in show business." Well, that's not generally what happens, and you probably already know that.
Everyone and anyone wanting to get to the "next level" needs this course.

Mega Sales and Marketing - pdf eBook on CD
by Dave Dee |
|
I hear it from performers all of the time..."Why do I need a book about sales and marketing? I have a flyer I send out."
Then I ask them, "Are you getting all of the shows you want?"
"No" is usually the answer.
You MUST know how to market and sell your show. If you are in business as a performer, you MUST know how to get people to hire you.
|
Most performers do NOT know how to market effectively.
Yeah, I know. Most of us (me included) want to spend our money on new puppets, dummies or joke books. But what good is that stuff if you are not doing any shows? Learning how to market has to be one of your top priorities.
This great e-book by marketing expert Dave Dee will show you tons of tips and tricks to booking as many shows as you want, as easily as flipping on a light switch.
Dave was a struggling performer who had a good show, but was not getting many gigs-until he finally decided he was going to learn as much about marketing as he could. He began studying REAL marketing experts - names like Dan Kennedy, Zig Ziglar, Jay Abraham, Tom Hopkins and many more.
By adapting the marketing secrets he learned, he went from doing an average of 3 shows a month to over 30 paying shows a month. During one month, Dave did 55 shows.
He then went on to author a best selling marketing system for entertainers and eventually limited his performing career to focus on teaching marketing principles to thousands of students.
Dave has become one of the most sought after speakers and consultants today on the subject of marketing and helping people sky rocket their businesses.
You may say, "My business is different and these marketing ideas won't work for me." To be blunt - you're wrong. Marketing is marketing is marketing. This book is packed full of literally hundreds of ideas that can dramatically increase the number of shows you do and the amount of money you can make.
The ideas in this book work for any business-not just entertainers. And, the information in this book is guaranteed to work. All of the techniques shown are proven. None of this is theory or old re-hashed information. These are the exact methods Dave uses today to very successfully market all of his programs, shows, seminars, products and services.
Many people pay up to $1,000 to attend one of Dave's multi-day live marketing "Boot Camps." I have attended several and they have been well worth the investment. Dave knows what he is talking about.
This book can literally be worth thousands and thousands of dollars to you if you simply use the information.

Ventriloquism for Fun and Profit (2005 revised edition)
by Paul Winchell
|
 |
Ventriloquism For Fun and Profit is an updated edition of Paul Winchell's best selling book, originally published in 1954. In the book, Winchell, America's Premier Ventriloquist, teaches the many techniques of the Art of Ventriloquism.
Drawing from over sixty years of experience, Winchell covers everything you need to know to become a ventriloquist.
|
| From vaudeville to television stardom, Paul Winchell took ventriloquism to levels of artistry rarely equaled by other ventriloquists. |
"Winch", as Paul was usually called, made guest appearances on every major TV show in the 1950's and 1960's, and won numerous awards for his contributions to children's programming. In fact, there is hardly a ventriloquist working today who was not influenced by Paul Winchell.
In addition to all of his other performing accomplishments, Winchell used his vocal talents as the voice of many animated characters, most notably as the voice of Walt Disney's "Tigger" for over 35 years.
This is a "must have" book for your ventriloquism library!
Large 8 1/2 " x 11" format. Illustrated. Spiral bound for easy reading.

| The Killer Stand-Up Comedy System! |
 |
One of the MOST important aspects of being a ventriloquist or professional performer is the ability to be FUNNY.
A lot of performers develop good technical skills for being a ventriloquist, but their act stinks because they are just not funny.
Being funny on stage is hard. But it is a skill that can be developed in most people.
The Killer Stand-Up Comedy system is the best system I've seen to show you how to be funny, almost without effort.

The Ventriloquial Script SourceBook
by Bill DeMar and Tom Ladshaw
|
 |
This has to be the BEST compilation script book ever written, and the first book of it's kind. The idea of the book was that Bill DeMar wrote some scripts. And, professional entertainer and author Tom Ladshaw also wrote some scripts. Then, each reviewed the others writings and re-wrote each others material the way they would have used it. The result is a huge book of top-notch USEABLE material.
The two versions of the scripts are shown side-by-side on the pages, so you can see how each writer adapted the material. |
Twelve of the scripts are presented in this unique 'two version' fashion, for a total of 24 scripts.
But there's more. There are also 9 other complete individual scripts by either Bill or Tom that brings the grand total to 33 scripts!
But, that's not all! Also included are some 'classic exchanges' between well-known ventriloquists and their partners, some heckler stoppers, 'short bits' and some words of wisdom from Bill DeMar.
Many other script books on the market often contain out-dated material, or so little useable material that you're lucky to find one good joke or line in the whole book. The 'Ventriloquial Script SourceBook' is jam-packed with tons of extremely funny, up-to-date material. The rough form of just one of these scripts originally cost more than $300 from a comedy writer in New York. This new book, without a doubt, is an amazing value!
Use these scripts as a spring board to help spark your creativity! |
