Synopsis: | In his 30-year career, Jay Johnson has converted generations of ventriloquist-avoiding Americans with his unique blend of charm, anarchy and innovative wit. In Jay Johnson: The Two and Only!, he deconstructs and demonstrates his lifelong obsession, aided by a 'cast' that includes Bob, Amigo, Darwin, Long John La Feat, Nethernore (the bird of Death), Spaulding, Arthur Drew, Jackie and Ga Ga, Squeaky. Best known for playing the schizophrenic role of Chuck and Bob on the groundbreaking television comedy Soap, Jay Johnson is widely regarded as one of the world's great living ventriloquists. The ancient craft was discovered thousands of years ago and was used by early chieftans and tribesmen, who acted as mediums between men and supernatural forces. The case has also been made that diviners in many religions, including the Oracle of Delphi, were ventriloquists. With his dummy Bob, Jay Johnson follows in the footsteps of such performers as Jules Vernon, Fred Russell (and Coster Joe), The Great Lester (and Frank Byron, Jr.), Edgar Bergen (and Charlie McCarthy), and Paul Winchell, who have all helped to define ventriloquism as a bona fide modern art form. | |||||
