Jeff Dunham in South Africa

World Famous Ventriloquist comes to Cape Town!


Jeff Dunham, the voice behind the character catchphrases such as Achmed the Dead Terrorist’s "Silence! I Keel You!" and José Jalapeño’s "On A Steek!” is bringing his undeniable talent and unstoppable laughs to Cape Town this September.

The secret to Dunham's comedic genius and unprecedented success is found in the believably real personalities he has created that are his partners in hilarity: Walter the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR loving and resolutely redneck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from south of the border; and the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist.

Although Dunham can rightfully be declared one of the funniest humans on the planet, it's his interactions with them as they banter, quip, kid and vie with each other that makes their comedy so distinctive, potent and irresistibly funny. They may have been conceived and crafted by Dunham, but his characters - who are anything but dummies - have now taken on a life of their own and are stars of everything Dunham does.

A taste of what to expect at the Jeff Dubham Show this September:
