About
Dean Atkinson is a comedian for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Twenty-five years of comedy ventriloquism, which is a rarer trade than it used to be. Dean Atkinson writes his puppet characters properly, and the show sits between ventriloquism and stand-up: improvisation, audience interaction, and a fair bit of quick wit off the cuff. The material is clean, so it works for a mixed-age corporate room as easily as a comedy club. He's played both, plus cruise ship seasons including the P&O Pacific Explorer. If you want comedy that doesn't risk offending half the guests, this is the safe end of the market.
