He's made appearances on numerous TV shows, as well as being featured on Comedy Central Presents. He often proves himself capable with the traditional stand-up schtick, but he knows that people watch him for the puppets.

And he took Achmed back out of his case, once again free to joke about his ineptitude as a terrorist puppet.Jeffrey Dunham (born Apin Dallas, Texas) is a popular comedian and ventriloquist. The night after his censored performance in Malaysia, Dunham took to joking about chewing gum in front of the Singapore crowd. The laughter may be the same, even if the freedom of speech is not.
What I am learning in this journey is that no matter the differences between peoples, nations, religions and even languages, laughter all sounds pretty much the same. What you gave back to me was not just acceptance and acclamation, but a sense of awe and of gratitude to have had the opportunity to entertain each and every one of you. To my new friends in both nations with so many differences: Thank you. “It’s simply amazing and crazy: Three nights ago, the audience in Arab Abu Dhabi could not have been more fantastic Then tonight you see the Jewish people of Israel in this selfie, as they just about took the roof off the place with their laughs. The reaction to his act was much different two weeks earlier in Abu Dhabi and Tel Aviv, he said.ĭunham took a selfie from the stage in Israel, writing: Who knew Achmed had a brother?”ĭunham said he rewrote the changes in the hours before his performance a week ago. “So let’s just say that the character that took center stage in Malaysia was strikingly familiar to all in attendance, but it was a last-minute twist that became the highlight of the entire tour. On the other hand, I wanted to avoid Achmed and I getting thrown in jail and being caned,” Dunham said today. “While I respect the wishes of our host country, I’m also an American and a firm believer in the freedom of speech. So the bits involving Achmed’s dead terrorist son (seen above) asking about Achmed’s multiple wives and whatnot? Not happening. Malaysia Major Events, a division of the Malaysia Convention & Exhibition Bureau, sponsored his first-ever visit there.
Through his publicists today, Dunham said that Malaysia’s Ministry of Culture and Arts had demanded the changes, including his name, likeness, references to virgins or anything else that might mock Muslims.
Rather, a review of his show the following night in Singapore noted that Dunham’s Malaysian act had turned Achmed into a not-so Islamic-sounding Frenchman - swapping the turban for a beret, and slapping a mustache on him to call him “Jacques Merde.” Jack Shit. His May 20 performance at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre may have teased Achmed’s appearance, telling Malaysians, “I keel you!”īut Achmed was neither seen nor heard from in Malaysia. That’s because it was Dunham’s first time performing with his Achmed The Dead Terrorist puppet without ever calling him Achmed. Following the Malaysian date in Kuala Lumpur, Dunham posted an Instagram photo, not from the stage as he has been wont to do, but of the famous Petronas Twin Towers, writing: “As everyone will soon learn, it was certainly a ONE OF A KIND show!” military following his first tour as a ventriloquist in Asia.ĭunham’s “All Over The Map” Tour found him visiting the Middle East, South Africa, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore this month. Jeff Dunham spent the Memorial Day Weekend in Hawaii, resting and relaxing after a final show for the U.S.
