It’s a weird show for weird people, or that’s what Sarah Jones tells the audience during Creepy
Dummy, which is presented as part of this year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Jones is a ventriloquist and through the course of the evening she is joined
by a number of special “guests”, and together we try to determine why
ventriloquist dummies / dolls have received such a bad rap, and for people who
have seen Annabelle or Magic, it’s not hard to
tell why.
Jones explains how people often declare how creepy puppets are or expressing their automatonophobia (fear of ventriloquist’s dummies) whenever she reveals her profession to them. In order to dispel this fear, Jones shares some interesting stories and facts regarding ventriloquism and dolls through stand-up, shadow play and of course puppets.
