Are you hosting an adult party or event in Denver and looking for some entertainment? Award-winning ventriloquist Mark Hellerstein might be exactly what you need to liven up your event. Mark has been actively involved in ventriloquism for more than six decades and has performed more than 3,000 shows for all kinds of audiences across the greater Denver area over the past 20 years.
Adult Ventriloquist in Denver, CO
Mark has been perfecting his ventriloquism techniques since the age of 10. After a successful career as a CEO in the oil industry, he retired in 2006 to focus fully on ventriloquism. Under the tutelage of the late Sammy King, he perfected acts for both children’s and adult events. He’s received multiple awards for his work, including in the “Colorado Stars of Tomorrow” contest.
What to Expect at an Adult Comedy Show
Generally, Mark reserves his adult comedy act for parties and events where mainly adults will be present. He’s performed at corporate functions, various events, senior living communities, and parties in private homes, among other places. The act, which tends to run at about 45 minutes, is a combination of comedy, music, audience participation, and, of course, puppets. In all, it makes for a fast-paced show that’s fun for an adult crowd.
Obviously, Mark will not be alone up there on stage. He’ll be joined by an eclectic group of puppets and characters. Here’s who you can expect to see at one of Mark’s adult comedy shows:
Mr. Edgar
Audiences tend to quickly find out how hilarious Mr. Edgar is. He’s Colorado’s oldest practicing attorney and is still running marathons at 90 years old (downhill of course). He’s an endearing character that audiences quickly fall in love with.
Professor Penwell
Professor Penwell literally comes to life right before your eyes as Mark Hellerstein draws a picture of the Professor…who suddenly begins talking. Moments later, he magically appears “in person”. But the fun really begins through his lovable adult comedy. He is gentle and clean, but strictly adult. His humor can be personalized to make your special occasion really memorable. The Professor not only sings simultaneously with Mark, but he performs his version of the famous Houdini “Great Escape”. You will not believe your eyes.
Dr. Hellenbach
In a most unusual comedy sketch, Dr. Hellenbach interviews a patient with a split personality. The fun really begins when the two personalities argue with each other with a climatic song where Dr. Hellenbach, and the two characters sing together simultaneously in an amazing harmony.
