Where It All Started
Justin's ventriloquism career began right here in the Pacific Northwest. At age 15, growing up in the Seattle area, he carved his first ventriloquist dummy out of a block of wood. That hand-carved start grew into a career of nearly 20 years, with headlining theatre shows, regular TV appearances, and corporate events across the region.
For Seattle audiences, it's a homegrown story: a local kid with a block of wood who became one of the Northwest's most recognized comedy ventriloquists.
Featured on KING 5's Evening Magazine
Justin has been featured on KING 5's Evening Magazine in four different years. Few entertainers can say that, and it shows how much Seattle audiences enjoy his act.
Headlining Washington's Theatres
Meydenbauer Center Theatre, Bellevue, WA
Justin was the headlining name on a ticketed show at this 410-seat theatre inside Bellevue's Meydenbauer Center convention center. It's an ideal fit for the Eastside's corporate community.
Pantages Theater, Tacoma, WA
Justin also headlined Tacoma's historic Pantages Theater, a restored 1918 vaudeville house. Ventriloquism was a staple of the vaudeville stage, so it was a fitting place for a modern comedy ventriloquist to headline.
Mount Baker Theatre, Bellingham, WA
Justin also headlined the Mount Baker Theatre, a restored 1927 landmark in downtown Bellingham. It's the largest performing arts venue of its kind north of Seattle.
