Aidan’s worst nightmare…😅 (Never posted this on TikTok, but this was my most watched reel on IG in 2024 with 23.7M views lol) #comedy #fyp #ventriloquist #reaction
Figured it was time I re-introduce Shooster! If y’all have been following me for awhile, you’ve seen this little guy before, and this is a bit I’ve been doing for quite some time that always gets laughs. This time, Shooster drank egg nog too fast and got the hiccups 😅 What’s your take on egg nog? #eggnog #dogs #comedy #ventriloquist #hiccups #fyp
Aidan met his “evil” twin at Axtell Expressions and this is how it went down 😅 Fun Fact: I got my first Aidan when I was 16 years old and have had four of these dinosaur puppets over the past 14 years since I use this puppet the most! Definitely sending Aidan out to California for a paint job/spa day here soon 🤣 #dinosaur #puppets #ventriloquism #ventriloquist #comedy
MY STORY: My 30th and Golden Birthday was a few days ago, so I thought I would answer my most asked question of, “How long have you been doing ventriloquism and how did you start?” with a fun little post for y’all. 😁 I’ve been doing ventriloquism for 25 years, and I became interested in puppets because of my dad! When he found out I was going to be born, he wanted to learn ventriloquism so he could read to me using puppets. So, he did! When I was five, I noticed my dad’s lips and throat move a little when he was reading to me, and that’s when I put it all together that HE was the one making them talk. As a 5-year-old, this was mind blowing news to me lol. While growing up, I knew my dad went to a puppet convention every Summer, but when I found out it was a ventriloquist convention, I REALLY wanted to go! However, my dad told me he wouldn’t bring me unless I was serious about learning the art. So, I started reading and completed a course called “Maher Course of Advanced Ventriloquism” within six months of starting it. When I was 6-years old, I performed on a stage for the very first time. I fell in love with making people laugh and still do. I took over my dad’s business “Rocky Mountain Puppets” when I was 16 years old and started performing at libraries for Summer Reading Programs on a regular basis. I went from having 16 shows my first Summer to now performing over 200 shows every single Summer. Performing was a seasonal thing for me up until I graduated from college, which brings me to what I initially wanted to do with puppets. I have always been extremely passionate about health and fitness, so I wanted to be a doctor that used puppets with kids; however, chemistry, biochemistry, and basically all the chemistries and I…did NOT have chemistry 😂. I switched my major from Pre-Med to Psychology and graduated from Colorado State in Summer 2018. What happened after college with my business is a story for another time, but this just shows you that life is full of surprises. I am extremely grateful to have parents that have supported my dreams since day one. Mom & Dad, thank you for bringing me into this world. 💕 Here’s to another year around the sun!
Outside of performing, y’all know I’m very passionate about health and fitness. I’ve been powerlifting for just over 2 years now, and I have been trying to hit 225lbs on bench for the past 4 months. I am OVER THE MOON that I finally hit this yesterday. Goes to show if you put your mind to doing something, you can get it done! 💪🏼 Switching up my training now, but I’m very excited to see what numbers I hit this year! #powerlifting #girlswholift
WOW! What a year. This year was the most I have ever traveled for work and I am so incredibly grateful for all the people that I have met and the memorable adventures I went on. I started off the year doing walk-around entertainment at Progressive’s Boat Shows, performed my show, “Expedition Underground” over 300 times, and have honestly learned a lot about myself and my business over the last few months after experiencing a pretty big set back from Hurricane Helene. If there is one thing I have found again this year, it is my drive and perseverance to make these dreams I have come true. I am so incredibly grateful for everyone’s support, y’all have no idea how much you mean to me. 2024, you were a rollercoaster, but man was it a good one. #CapCut #2024recap #happynewyear
