Through the art of ventriloquism and a diverse array of comic figures, Jay Johnson (best known as Chuck on the classic TV comedy Soap) takes his audience on a multi-dimensional journey that combines his storytelling (which explores the history of the form from ancient time to vaudeville, as well as his work on the television series) and his skill, with a parade of characters that range from a subversive monkey to a befuddled tennis ball.
