On this episode of the Stateside television series which is Bananas we are treated to the wonderful talent of this ventriloquist, or "Ventrickilist" as one of David Pendleton's wooden friends is apt to call him. The gentleman and his various puppets, including Mac, a dinner suited, cheeky and at times sarcastic kind of guy, and Aunt Tilly, the straight talking old age pensioner, definitely provides laughs a plenty for both young and old and all ages in between. Mr Pendleton is also not averse to audience participation and his use of an audience member as a "puppet" is delightful to see. On the package it states, "You will be hard pressed to detect any movement from David's lips as he introduces you to a wide range of comedic characters" and I could not agree more. Furthermore with the emphasis being on the whole family we can be assured of no vulgarity or swearing, etc. With extras which include the entire stand up show and interviews with Pendleton, we have quite a package of fun.
