Jeff Dunham Bio
With humor that transcends any and all demographic boundaries, Jeff Dunham is consistently setting and
breaking records and conquering every realm he enters. Over the last decade, he and his hilarious troupe of
comedic sidekicks have risen from the standup comedy clubs to charm the world and become an
unprecedented entertainment phenomenon with an astounding international 360-degree reach.
With staggering and ever-growing DVD sales of more than five million, the highest rated season premiere ever
on Comedy Central with his debut television series "The Jeff Dunham Show," 300 million worldwide views on
You Tube, consistently packed and sold out shows in 7,000 to 10,000 seat venues, and a briskly-selling line of
some 50 items of merchandise offered at his concerts, on his website and in retail stores across North America,
he has a comedic gift that turns laughter into overwhelming success. Declared by Time magazine as "perhaps
the most popular comedian in the U.S." as well as "America's favorite" by Slate, his audience appeal has
fostered a constantly burgeoning following of loyal and loving fans who savor his concerts, TV appearances,
DVDs, CDs and YouTube clips again and again and fervently spreadthe word on Dunham and his winning
characters.
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; JoséJalapeño, 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 withthem 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.
Named by Forbes to its Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers, Dunham enjoys a unique multi-year,
multi-platform deal with Comedy Central that includes his series "The Jeff Dunham Show," future one-hour
comedy specials, a consumer products program, and DVD distribution through Comedy Central Home
Entertainment. It follows in the wake of his record-setting late 2008 one-hour holiday celebration "A Very Special Christmas Special," which drew 6.6 million viewers on its premiere airing to become the channel's most-watched program ever, and top ratings for his previous Comedy Central specials "Arguing with Myself" (April
2006) and "Spark of Insanity" (September 2007). Dunham has also struck content partnerships with YouTube
(where his Achmed clip is the fifth most all-time viewed and fourth all-time video designated as a favorite),
Amazon.com (whose customers rated "Spark of Insanity" the best DVD of 2008) and iTunes. Dunham was also
declared the top-grossing domestic live comedy act of 2008 and 2009 and the top-grossing international live
comedy act of 2009 by the concert industry trade magazine.
