Paul Hunt the comedian gymnast

We talked about comedians of all sorts, stand up comedians, dummy comedians, and comedians, but a gymnast comedian? Well Paul Hunt is one of those, but don't be fooled by the humor, in gymnastics it is pretty hard to look bad without breaking your bones.

Actually Hunt was a pro gymnast in his days, he even won the US national championship in floor exercise.

The human dummy

Both parents attended drama school, mother went on to become a BBC Radio 2 presenter and his father a producer for the BBC World Service. Paul Zerdin is a comedian/ventriloquist (which an act of stagecraft in which a person (a ventriloquist) manipulates his or her voice so that it appears that the voice is coming from elsewhere, usually a puppeteered "dummy"). When he was 10 a family friend made him a puppet theatre which he used to put on shows, a hobby which quickly grew into an obsession. The real turning point for Paul was when he was given a book on ventriloquism written by the legendary Ray Alan and it was not long before he was spending half an hour a day in front of the mirror practicing talking without moving his lips. When Paul was 17 he got a part-time job at Davenports’ Magic and began to develop his own magic skills along the way and became a children’s entertainer as a sideline.
Now he likes to embarrass people.

 

Does anyone know who "The African King of Comedy" is?

Apparently he has been around for quite sometime now.  Michael Blackson, 38, moved to states and in 1993 became a stand up comedina. Originally from Ghana, Blackson still have a slight African accent that he uses in his shows. I was very surprised how funny he is and no one talks about him. His approach to stereotypes is very unique, I love the fact that he separates "African-Americans" and "Black" and "Africans".
