Jeff Dunham

Biography

With humor that transcends any and all demographic boundaries, Jeff Dunham is consistently setting and breaking records and conquering every realm he enters. Over the last decade, he and his hilarious troupe of comedic sidekicks have risen from the stand-up comedy clubs to charm the world and become an unprecedented entertainment phenomenon with an astounding international 360-degree reach.

The secret to Dunham`s comedic genius and unprecedented success is found in the believably real personalities he has created that are his partners in hilarity: Walter the grumpy retiree; the beer-swilling, NASCAR loving and resolutely redneck Bubba J; the furry and manic Peanut; Jose Jalapeno, the spicy pepper from south of the border; and the bumbling skeletal Achmed the Dead Terrorist. Although Dunham can rightfully be declared one of the funniest humans on the planet, its his interactions with them as they banter, quip, kid and vie with each other that makes their comedy so distinctive, potent and irresistibly funny. They may have been conceived and crafted by Dunham, but his characters, who are anything but dummies, have now taken on a life of their own and are stars of everything Dunham does.

Its all part of Dunham`s mission to not just entertain but touch people`s lives. "As a stand-up comic, it is my job to make the majority of people laugh, and I truly believe that comedy is the last true form of free speech and that laughter can heal many wounds."

All by My Selves is the highly anticipated autobiography from Jeff Dunham that takes us behind the curtain to explain how he turned a tired, vaudevillian art form into something truly modern and hip.

Not only does Jeff show how he developed his characters and how his act has evolved, but he also shares details of his life as a working comedian and family man on the road.

Best of all, Jeff`s story is vetted by his characters - they tell the "real" story, all the hilarious details Jeff himself is too modest to include.
