additional service charges and fees.
Jeff
Dunham’s television specials and series have been the highest rated programming in
Comedy Central history, his DVD sales have reached seven million units, his videos
have received a half a billion views on You Tube, and his live concerts have
become mega-events played in front of sold-out arenas worldwide. No wonder Time Magazine
wrote that he is “the most popular comedian in the United States” and Forbes
named him to its Celebrity 100 list of most powerful entertainers three years
running. Today, Jeff Dunham is a
phenomenally successful global entertainment brand.
Dunham
has, of course, plenty of help on-stage: his entourage of signature characters who
are there to challenge and chastise his every sentence. There’s Walter, the grumpy retiree; the
beer-swilling, NASCAR-loving and resolutely red neck Bubba J; the furry and
manic Peanut; José Jalapeño, the spicy pepper from South of the border; the
bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist; the almost as dead long-lost son
of Achmed, AJ; and Peanut’s own ventriloquist dummy: Little Jeff. They may have all been conceived and hand
crafted by Dunham, but his characters, who are anything but dummies, have now
taken on a life of their own, each with their own legion of fans.
Today,
Dunham’s global appeal is undeniable. He
was named top-grossing live comedy act in the world in 2009 and 2010 by
Pollstar, the concert industry trade magazine.
He has sold-out stadium-sized shows across three continents, from the
United Kingdom to Sydney, Toronto to Copenhagen. He sold-out an 8,000 seat
hockey arena in Helsinki, Finland on Easter Sunday, and Dunham doesn’t speak a
word of Finnish. Or Swedish. Or Norwegian. Or Afrikaan, which are the
official languages of some of the countries he has visited. There is universal appeal to Dunham’s
relationship with his characters that transcends any small gaps in language
translation.
He
maintains a highly interactive relationship with his fans via JeffDunham.com
and many social networking platforms, including over 6.5 million fans on
Facebook. His content partnerships
include YouTube (where his Achmed clip is in the top five videos of all time
designated as a favorite), Amazon.com, and iTunes.
In
2012, Jeff continued to pack arena-sized venues on his new Controlled Chaos
live show. He recently made his fourth
trip to Europe this spring, stopping in the U.K.,
Germany,
and Belgium, and his second trip to South Africa, selling out arenas in
Johannesburg, Cape Town, Sun City and Durban.
Jeff just returned from his second trip to Australia and premiere visit
to New Zealand, selling out arenas in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane,
and Auckland.
As an
entertainer, Jeff Dunham has truly impacted popular culture, and his character
catchphrases, such as Achmed's "Silence! I Keel You!" and José
Jalapeño’s "On A Steek!'", are now part of our vernacular, much to
the delight of multi-generational audiences worldwide.
