Todd Oliver is widely known as America's most popular ventriloquist and his one of a kind comedy attracts audiences of all ages and backgrounds. For his State Theatre appearance, Todd creates a "magical family chemistry" with a cast of characters that includes "talking-dogs" Irving, Lucy and Elvis, plus hilarious friends like Pops, a crazy confused old timer; Miss Lilly, his lifelong love; and Joey, the lovable bad boy. Todd and his real talking dog - Irving, a live Boston Terrier who throws witty insults and sings, have appeared on The Oak Ridge Boys Live in Las Vegas, Penn and Teller's Vegas special Sin City Sensational, two episodes of Walker- Texas Ranger, and most recently on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

This is Todd's second appearance at the State Theatre. His show Funny Dogs played to audiences in February 2008.

Jack Swersie has opened for countless headliners on the State Theatre stage, and most recently starred in Clean Voices of Comedy, at the theatre in November 2008.
