Ventriloquist Central - A Tribute To Ventriloquism

James Tattersall was a ventriloquist that may have been unique to the ventriloquist world. This performer was popular in England in the 1940’s and 1950’s and built all of his own figures and to my knowledge never sold or made his figures for anyone else. They are truly unique and are very large in size.
 
I myself was lucky enough to purchase one of his figures from a friend of his in England who was given one of the figures. I subsequently sold that figure to Bob Abdou aka Mr Puppet and it now resides in his collection. This figure is also pictured in the Tribute to Ventriloquism pages under Hard figure Makers.

We were fortunate that our good friend George Boosey sent us in this great video of James Tattersall for everyone to see this clearly unique and very talented ventriloquist perform. I hope you enjoy this video.

P.S.  ATTENTION Las Vegas Ventriloquists…I’ve been contacted by an international magazine that wants to do an interview with a Las Vegas vent.  If you are based out of Vegas and are interested, please contact me at dan@ventriloquistcentral.com .
