In 2020, VentFest was all set to launch

but, of course, performances and public gatherings were put on hold that year, and those restrictions stretched into 2021. But we and our performers believed in our vision, and in 2022 the first International Ventriloquism & Arts Festival was held, and the international ventriloquist world took notice.

To date, the great and internationally renowned performers who have performed under the VentFest banner are TONY Award-winning ventriloquist Jay Johnson; comedic juggler Niels Duinker (three-time European Juggling Champion) from the Netherlands; magician and illusionist Dashnor Bushi, and ventriloquists Lynn Trefzger, Don Bryan, David Crone, Kellie Haines, Todd Oliver, Nikolas Bushi, and more.
