Comedian Jeff Dunham is coming to Evansville's Ford Center, and we have the chance for you to not only beat the box office to win, but we've got your chance to win tickets in the first five rows before they go on sale!

Jeff Dunham Brings His Characters Back on Tour

From childhood birthday parties to sold-out arenas worldwide, Jeff Dunham has built a comedy empire fueled by ventriloquism, quick wit, and a cast of unforgettable characters. The comedian who once entertained scout banquets with a toy dummy now holds Guinness World Records for ticket sales, boasts nine record-breaking comedy specials, and fills arenas that typically host Taylor Swift and Metallica.

A Career Built on Characters and Quick Wit

Dunham began practicing ventriloquism at nine years old. By the time he was in high school, he was booking national appearances and earning more money than many adults, all while developing characters bold enough to say what most people wouldn’t.

Today, Dunham’s creations, including cranky Walter, hyperactive Peanut, Jose the Jalapeno on a Stick, Bubba J, and smartphone-obsessed Url, remain at the center of his comedy, skewering American culture with sharp humor.

From Guinness Records to Global Stages

His career includes Comedy Central’s highest-rated specials, an NBC primetime hit, guest appearances across network TV, and international shows in more than 20 countries. With over 3.6 million YouTube subscribers, 11 million Facebook followers, and more than a billion views, Dunham’s reach continues to grow.

After a pandemic pause, the comedian is back on the road, and he is bringing his characters and irreverent humor to Evansville. The Ford Center will host the world-famous comedian and his “suitcase posse” for a night of laughs on February 25, 2026.
