Stand-up comedian and superb ventriloquist and his box full of friends.

This is the 2nd DVD of Dunham's shows, and I wish we could rate higher than a 10, since the 1st one is a 10 and this DVD is even better. We chanced upon these from a DVD rental service where you can watch some movies for free, and have never laughed so hard or for so long. There are a variety of characters, and the audience is able to relate to at least one of Dunham's "friends." Dunham first comes out doing a stand-up routine, which of course each character manages to work into their routine when they are brought out later. You get the sense that these are not puppets but actual beings. Want even more laughs, head to youtube and check out the bloopers.
