Biography

Ventriloquist Mark Merchant

Over a 30-year career in comedy ventriloquism, Mark has worked cruises to casinos and corporate events all over the world. Atlantic City Magazine awarded him "Best Variety Act" for his performance. Crystal Cruises gave him the award for Entertainer of the Year.

Mark's time on stage features original material as fresh as the day's news headlines and political humor with something for everyone. Never partisan, he entertained for leaders as varied as President Jimmy Carter and Governor Sarah Palin. Valley Magazine reviewed Mark's act as, "Clever, edgy, and so funny we were wiping the tears from our eyes with cocktail napkins." The Reno-Gazette commented, "This act is politically incorrect and makes fun of its own political incorrectness by pointing out the ridiculous nature of that term. He and his friends are a talented and good humored team!" Last July, he made his Las Vegas debut at the Las Vegas Hilton with his best friends (and ever-present dummies), Zelda, Alonzo, and Wing Tip Shu.
