The Useless Critic 2.0

So a long long time ago I wrote the spotlight/shoutout post for Dan Horn, one of the top ventriloquists in the world.I love ventriloquism, and I find it to be absolutely hilarious. So that is why I am proffering the s/s for this Wednesday to Nina Conti. She is a skilled V, and she has a great routine set up with her good friend “Monk.” Although, they really should change the name to Monq. Adding a Q to the end of your name is so gangsta rap.

He can move his lips less, and he has better interactions with the dummies. Good stuff, and lots of laughs. Especially his vids with the dummy Orson, a 91-year-old former singer. Also, if you are into this art check out Nina Conti with her Monkey, and that one guy from America's Got Talent! Who knows what his name is? QATFYG:If you were a ventriloqu...
