Jeff Dunham is hilarious. I don't care that you can see his lips & throat moving!
I'm no expert but I think the whole point of Ventriloquism is to not move your mouth and throat, otherwise we can all do it. But in terms of skill Nina is far better at it.
Nina Conti and that monkey couldn't be more unfunny if they tried. I confess that comedy and entertainment is subjective, so appreciate those that like her. As for me...just don't get it:(
I'm the other way round. I think that Nina Conti is terrible - Gran is just not funny! Jeff Dunham is hilarious. I don't care that you can see his lips & throat moving!

He may not be the best at technique but he's not that bad and at least he has good material which is just as important.
Saw Conti with a new routine on John Bishop's Christmas Show
Conti wasn't very good. The act using the mouth piece was bad enough but now she's got a big dummy for a person to get into.
She said this dummy was supposed to be an Eastern European plumber or something.
The dummy look more Latino or Chinese.
She did have nice legs though.
I saw that as well and thought it was embarrassingly bad
The best vent I ever saw was a 12 year old girl on a TV talent show back in the 80's. Her material was innocent stuff, funny enough, but her voice-throwing technique was absolutely spot on - best I have ever seen. My dad was in showbusiness and I saw a few vents over the years in the shows he was in and that kid was excellent. She didn't win the show though and I never heard of her again.
