After tearing my hair out due to the lack of resources / materials & contact with other ventriloquists available here in the UK, I am now setting up the UK’s first ventriloquists Association.


Ideally it will form a network of ventriloquists who can help & advise each other, plus provide support & guidance pointing people in the right direction. Maybe in the future it will even supply teaching materials & mediums direct to people from the UK.

I have taken the first steps in forming the UK’s first ventriloquist society.

To really get it established, it would be helpful if interested people, could log on & join the web group

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ukventriloquists/

together, we can really get the ball rolling and by uniting can become a ventriloquists association in the UK for us all to be a part of and proud of.

If you log on to join, don’t be alarmed at the fact there is very few members at present - These are very early days. I’m certain if word gets around quick enough the ranks will swell and we will have a fantastic online community as the foundation of the actual society.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you know who also has an interest in ventriloquism.

Please don’t feel offended by the fact you have to join the group and wait to be granted membership. I want to avoid the spammers etc.

Many Thanks for your time,

Puppet Man

Founder of UK VENTRILOQUISTS

Sounds like a good idea Puppet Man. And when you get up and running I will add it to the list of UK based Magic related Societies.

okey dokey.

UK VENTRILOQUISTS is just what ventriloquists or PUPPET performers in the UK Need... this is very refreshing & just what we need. I just joined today...

allow me to elaborate...

UK Ventriloquists was started because of the lack of support & advice available to UK Based ventriloquists from within the UK.
Why is there nothing available within our own country? Why do we keep having to rely on others abroad to provide support, advice, resources, materials & tuition etc?

This web forum is the foundation of which the UK’s first ventriloquist association will be based to finally fill the VOID regarding ventriloquism within the UK.
This group will not only unite ventriloquists from within the UK, but also unite them with ventriloquists from Europe & around the world. Everyone with an interest in ventriloquism is welcome to join & share friendly & quality discussions of all aspects of ventriloquism including puppets, performing, techniques, generating comedy & humour, sharing ideas, sharing experiences, & where experience allows; advice to assist other members to become better entertainers.
Join UK Ventriloquists and help the UK establish the first UK Ventriloquist Association which will keep the art of ventriloquism alive & promote it with passion.

there is already a group in the UK established... My investigations are pleased to report this to you....

the British Association of Ventriloquists is very well established and has been so for over 3 years. Initially we were the British section of the North American Asociation of Ventriloquists (NAAV) but as membership grew we became independent.

We have our own quarterly newsletter, member Directory, and national & regional meetings/Conventions.
Our membership comprises both Professiona & Amateur vents ... we also have a small number of Honorary members including Tim Selberg, Clinton Detweiler, Terry Hall, & Paul Zerdin.
