Dummy Hypnotises Ventriloquist | Live at the Apollo | BBC Comedy Greats 

The dummy realizing he screwed himself over by hypnothizing his puppeteer is one of the funniest things I have seen this month.

This is the most brilliant clip of a ventriloquist I have ever seen.

Before I watch this again I have to say that this is one of the most brilliant ventriloquist bits I have ever seen. 🤣🤣🤣

Nina & Monkey, that was your finest hour. Absolutely brilliant.

"Raise your finger... No, not on THIS hand, you idiot!" Still gets me every time 😂

Quite an amazing talent. Nina Conti is good too.

Probably one of the greatest on stage performances of all time. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.

She did a documentary, "In Her Master's Voice". Her teacher passed and left her his dummies and other memorabilia. It was an amazing and touching show! If you enjoyed this bit, please look for it. You'll be glad you did.

I don’t think people understand how much talent this is.

She actually deprives herself of air to make the “breathe, Nina!” jokes.

She's mighty talented and clever and funny!

The most meta ventriloquism performance I've ever seen.

One of the most talented, creative, clever and sexiest entertainers alive today.

"Breath, Nina! I'm dying!" Hahaha he's not the only one. She's really good ... like REALLY good! :D

That acting with the puppet 🤣. She really makes me buy into the act so much that it feels real!!! Amazing

Breath Nina in dying here! Thanks to the almighty algorithm for bringing me here 5 years later 😅😂

"No, not on this hand, you idiot." Very good.

It's amazing there's barely any significant movement in her throat muscles, which you'd think would be a giveaway. Now that's a talent!

Hilarious. That's the funny thing about ventriloquism, pretty much anyone can learn to talk without moving their lips but it takes real talent to turn that into a performance as good as this. You need to be able to give the puppet "life" through believable dialogue, good characterisation & voicework plus you need to write the jokes and deliver them well while timing your breaths perfectly. Add onto that, the difficulty of performing a song at the same time and she's like a one woman entertainer, specialising in everything.

Wow, a ventriloquist who makes "I know its a puppet" jokes and is actually funny

Her voice acting is incredible!

I love how she knows exactly what Monk is going to say but she still laughs because she thinks it's funny. So cute!

I’ve now been watching Nina for a while and I think I can say this with confidence now. I’m in my 70s and I’ve seen all the great ventriloquists…Bergen, Winchell, Lewis, Dunham, Farmer. Nina Conti is the GOAT. I swear, Monkey is real. Thank you for the hours of entertainment.

Absolutely brilliant! I’ve watched it a bunch of times and I laugh every time and I’m more and more impressed each time. You almost forget that she’s doing it all…when the monkey whacks her to wake her up, the way he then slides off to the side looking away. Then her interaction with monkey…the timing is incredible, he says something and she laughs at it. , you almost forget it’s her own self she’s reacting to.

What a beautiful lady.

That was the cutest act I've seen in a long time!

surprised he didnt go falsetto when she raised the wrong finger lol.

She is so damn adorable.

There are so many great ventriloquists performing these days like Darci Lynne, Jeff Dunham, and Terry Fator to name a few. But in my opinion there has never been a better one than Nina. Absolutely love her!

Omg! Nessun Dorma done by a ventriloquist?! Nina Conti proves once again she's amazing

I love Nina conti as a ventriloquist as she's amazing live.

I love when they break the fourth wall. Shari Lewis was a master at it.

First time I've seen her or heard of her...Excellent!!!

She is great have seen her live a few times, had totally forgotten her dad is Tom Conti the actor

Funniest thing I've seen for a long time she's brilliant

I watched this years ago and ever since then to this day whenever I run out of breath while talking or singing I always say "Breathe, twilight, I need more air!"

DANG she is super talented, funny, and pretty.

A meta ventriloquist act. Never knew we needed this in our lives

Brilliant act that dummy is bloody amazing.

The best i have ever seen completely different

I saw Nina Conti as Celia in an RSC production of "As You Like It" many years ago. If someone had told me then that she would make her name as a ventriloquist I wouldn't have believed them...

That's a million dollar performance done with a puppet you'd find at Target or Walmart. Is not superfluous to say she's got talent

Extreme originality always gets my vote!

This is the first time I have watched her she is absolutely great and she is absolutely gorgeous

Talented, funny and beautiful. That’s what we call a 10/10.

Thanks to one of your commenters, I found it! "Nessun Dorma" is a beautiful aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot." It makes me want to hear the whole thing! Well done!

Damn, she's amazing!

Wow that's some of the most convincing ventriloquism I've ever seen.

Everytime I view it it makes me laugh and I've watched it so many times.

She is FANTASTIC!

Nina and Monkey are so original, so clever and so funny !😂Excellent!!🤩

I usually dont like these acts, but hers is outstanding.

One of the greatest talents out there today

Shes absolutely brilliant! Very funny 😂

Nina Conti is something else!

Sensationnel! En français: "Quel talent!" Merci!

Definitely the best and most talented ventriloquist.

"High concept" comedy - I love it!

That is greater than great !!!! That IS a Very talented woman !!!!

Great show. She is wonderful.

Comedy genius on several levels. Hilarious 👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣

OMG - Laughed my ass off! She is Great!

She's the best funniest ventriloquist I've seen, have you seen her cop one on the stop for using a mobile whilst driving where the monkey swears at the cop?

This is simply brilliant :-)

This deserves to be under “Comedy GREATS” 👍👆

Now this is really to cute and funny

One of the greats, no doubt! ❤❤

That was REALLY well done. Bravo!

🥰 She's just great. Thanks for the laughs! 👏❤️

Wow. That was wonderful.

She is AWESOME

*She’s so pretty and so on* ❤️

Doesn’t get any better with a ‘dummy’. Ventriloquism at it’s best is a joy.

This Girl is Brilliant

Nessun Dorma from Turandot. In English means “let no one sleep”. Clever!

Wow, amazing is an understatement

Nina is fantastic. Her father is also one of my favourite actors. Quite a talented family.

What talent!

Although I live in Northern Ireland I'd love to see Nina live. I usually have a weeks holiday in England or Scotland ( before Covid-19)every summer and I would definitely go and see her show if circumstances were right. All through this video I was TRYING so hard to work out the logic of the monkey still being able to talk even when Nina was and asking myself" Is she technically hypnotising herself?" that I got a sore head. 😂😂Also,I hope that I don't sound like a stalker or sexist,but Nina is a beautiful lady and is hilarious.🐒☝️

What a character.

That was very funny and extremely impressive :)

She is great. Never thought ventriloquism could be fun.

Loving her work.

Nina Conti rules and will rule forever!

She’s good!

She is just on a level of her own. So impressive

Even among ventriloquist acts this is special. Wow.

She was the greatest i have ever seen . Damn!

She's out standing!!!

maybe the best routine I've ever seen / heard....very clever

Brilliant!

Nina is a genius. Love Granny

The very talented nina conti brilliant

Totally talented top class lady - and friend!!!!!

When the dummy said, "I'd like to take advantage," were any of you guys thinking dirty thoughts?

Excellent. Original. Clever.

Damn, she made me lol in a library's quiet area

She takes it to new heights, doesn't she?

This is an excellent act.

People disliking this must be jelous as hell.
