Jeff Dunham: Comedian

Recently I saw Jeff Dunham who stopped off in Las Vegas on his comedy tour. My daughter and wife liked Walter and I thought achmed the dead terrorist was incredibly funny. If you have never heard of Jeff Dunham you should look him up on Youtube.com     He has had over 3 million playings of his comedy there and has had his own show on the Comedy Channel in the U.S. and other places that receive American Cable or Satellite reception. He pretty much filled a 4000 seat auditorium in Vegas so he has quite a following all over. He told of a funny story of how he was diverted in a private jet to Klamath Falls Airport from Medford in Oregon because it was fogged in. So since there was no night time control tower they were playing by ear and taxied over to a big hanger but it turned out to be a secret military hanger and they were met by the military and loaded weapons pointed at them. The pilot and co-pilot were freaked out but Jeff Dunham took a chance and mentioned Achmed the Dead Terrorist and the Marines had heard of Achmed and everyone lightened up. I thought it was a great story. So if you are a Jeff Dunham fan check to see if he will be near you next. Also, Because of Klamath Falls proximity to Mt. Shasta and almost constant UFO sightings there a secret hanger nearby makes a lot of sense to me, personally.  But that's just me. However, I used to live in Mt. Shasta city.

Jeff Dunham was amazingly creative and innovative at this show tonight and ad libbed a lot. He is amazingly creative and inventive and funny.

I found a site with all of Jeff Dunham's comedy tour dates between now and next fall:
