Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham to perform Sunday, September 1

Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham, a comedy superstar and one of the world’s most inventive entertainers, returns to the Allentown Fair on Sunday, September 1. Dunham’s many accolades include sold-out global concert tours, ratings-shattering broadcast specials, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame along with a few Guinness Book of World Records. He is a best-selling author, his autobiography, All By My Selves: Walter, Peanut, Achmed and Me, landed Dunham on the New York Times’ Best Seller list three weeks in a row. He was also named Billboard’s Top Comedy Tour for three consecutive years. Slate called Dunham, “America’s favorite comedian.” He has 11 record-breaking comedy specials to his credit – three were Comedy Central’s most viewed specials of their respective years (“Me the People,” 2022; “Minding the Monsters,” 2012; “Controlled Chaos,” 2011). “Jeff Dunham’s Very Special Christmas Special,” 2008, remains the network’s highest rated program of all time. His NBC primetime special, “Unhinged,” ranked as the time period’s top non-sports program and became Comedy Central’s top rated special of 2016. His most recent special “Me the People” is the highest rated stand-up special and was the most watched comedy special of 2022. According to TIME, Dunham is “a dressed-down, more digestible version of Don Rickles with multiple personality disorder.” This will be Dunham’s fifth time headlining the fair’s Grandstand. He performed two nights at the 2009 fair along with performances in 2010, 2013 and 2016.
