The dummy realizing he screwed himself over by hypnothizing his puppeteer is one of the funniest things I have seen this month.
Wdym? How so?
this year!
@@over-engineered Wdym? This year! What?
I agree. Laughed for minutes.
hypnotizing
This is the most brilliant clip of a ventriloquist I have ever seen.
"Breathe, Nina, I'm dying, I need more air!"
Quirk, my only question is: How did you manage to snag that user name?
@@silencionomus : Surprisingly, I just typed it in when I signed up for an account, like anyone else. I don't have any inside contacts with UA-cam or Google or anything. This was many years ago, though.
Wow. You wrote what we all heard in the video!
@@fezzik7619 : Yes. I did that. 😁
😂😂😂😂
Wow, a ventriloquist who makes "I know its a puppet" jokes and is actually funny
Of course. She's British
"Raise your finger... No, not on THIS hand, you idiot!" Still gets me every time 😂
Now that is some funny shit
The hearing impaired thank you.
That's not the Apollo I remember.
It should have gone like this "Raise your finger... EEEK! No, not on this hand..." -- but I guess that's why she's on stage and I'm the goofus on UA-cam commenting on it.
@@erniemiller1953 That's because it is the Apollo Theatre in London
Before I watch this again I have to say that this is one of the most brilliant ventriloquist bits I have ever seen. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m weeping and I’m not
Nina & Monkey, that was your finest hour. Absolutely brilliant.
Quite an amazing talent. Nina Conti is good too.
This is the most unique variation on a ventriloquist act that I have ever seen. Just brilliant!
Never seen Jeff Duhnam then.
Yup, but I still think her lips move less and her humour and creativity place her at the top in her craft.
Right! I was laughing the whole 3 minutes. Crazy it's as old as it is and I haven't seen it.
Jeff Dunham is (was) great, but this is more unique, imo. I think I'd rather 2 hrs of this lady than Dunham any day.
Have a ventriloquist-off? Put her against Jeff Dunham, pull Charlie McCarthy out of whatever museum he's buried in and Edgar Bergen out whatever grave he's encased in to be the judges.
I like the way she does the act acknowledging that she is the one making the dummy talk. She's the one doing all the talking, singing (in a low voice), she's the one breathing etc and yet she stays in character.
Thud Thud, you say that she is making the monkey talk....that she is doing ALL of the talking....and singing in a low voice....and she is doing the breathing and everything else, and even that she was acting too. Come on man, do I look like I was born last week. That is one smart little monkey, yeah, come on, hahahaha, your trying to trick me. I get it. Hahahahaha
Just when you thought there was nothing new in ventriloquism.
Ha
I don’t think people understand how much talent this is.
Good thing for the comments section! We'd still be lost
@@MadScientist267 Don't worry buddy, you'll get there!
Not funny
@@davideunbekannt7726 I don't think she was very good. I could see her mouth moving. Gottle of Geer! She didn't wash her hair either, skanky old beeeehatch.
Really?!!
Nina Conti is just brilliant. Of course she has great ventriloquism talent; but she also has an actor's characterisation skill and a comedian's timing. She is a superior performer.
Ferdinand Cesarano Oh please...
"Oh, please", nothing. She is super-talented.
The nonchalant manner that she effects makes it seem that she is not doing much. But there's plenty going on in her act. And she nails it, with amazing poise.
Nina Conti is remarkably good.
That is her in a nutshell she seems to do this without any effort,with amazing ad libs and off the cuff humour,but yeah the complexity is masked by her sheer natural talent ;)
Ferdinand Cesarano I
She certainly is all of that and more.
Probably one of the greatest on stage performances of all time. Surprised I haven't heard of her before.
that's strange
"No, not on this hand, you idiot." Very good.
Just so damn meta I can’t help but laugh. Nina Conti at her inventive best.
She's mighty talented and clever and funny!
Hot too!
Clever and cleavage go hand in hand.
It’s a surprise he didn’t go soprano when that hidden finger was raised.
I thought that, too. It would have got a laugh.
he did, but it was so high pitched you couldn't hear it. i know this because i'm a dog.
Nearly peed when I read that. Thanks for the giggle.
Yep, it was a missed opportunity. She needs to add a joke to the finger being raised.
That was deep for a girl... 🤣
The most meta ventriloquism performance I've ever seen.
This isn't even her best stuff. See if you can find the bit where she does a puppet show where there is no puppet, in front of an audience of ventriloquists.
She did a documentary, "In Her Master's Voice". Her teacher passed and left her his dummies and other memorabilia. It was an amazing and touching show! If you enjoyed this bit, please look for it. You'll be glad you did.
It is an amazing documentary I've seen it too ! That standing ovation at the convention also says a lot. But as you said it went so much deeper
"Breathe Nina...breathe Nina i'm dying. I need more air" hahaha too funny. Great performance!
She actually deprives herself of air to make the “breathe, Nina!” jokes.
Breath Nina in dying here!
Thanks to the almighty algorithm for bringing me here 5 years later 😅😂
It got me after 9 years! 👍
Brilliant, really funny “don’t lose me, testing 1-2-3” 🤣
That acting with the puppet 🤣. She really makes me buy into the act so much that it feels real!!! Amazing
Her voice acting is incredible!
"Breath, Nina! I'm dying!"
Hahaha he's not the only one. She's really good ... like REALLY good! :D
One of the most talented, creative, clever and sexiest entertainers alive today.
surely that'sJames Corden?
said no one in the history of Earth.....
@@Tacsmokerwho
Not that finger! haha
LMAO I laughed histarically at that one!
I spat my dinner out when I heard that!
“PLEASE! That finger!”
It's amazing there's barely any significant movement in her throat muscles, which you'd think would be a giveaway. Now that's a talent!
surprised he didnt go falsetto when she raised the wrong finger lol.
The apple certainly doesn’t fall far from the tree. Like her father, she is an incredible artist. I’ve seen various performances from Nina and her improvisational skills are brilliant
Didn't realise her father was Tom Conti, until now!
Just recently I found out that her father is Tom Conti. Watched Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence back in the day, and in later years the third of Bale’s Batman movies (forgot the title). And she really is incredibly skilled
Brilliant, original, refined, distinguished. That is class.
Outstanding! Nina always comes up with new and unique acts. She is hilarious. 😂😂😂
I love how she knows exactly what Monk is going to say but she still laughs because she thinks it's funny. So cute!
To me that's the best part - that Nina is genuinely tickled by things the Monkey says.
Absolutely brilliant! I’ve watched it a bunch of times and I laugh every time and I’m more and more impressed each time.
You almost forget that she’s doing it all…when the monkey whacks her to wake her up, the way he then slides off to the side looking away.
Then her interaction with monkey…the timing is incredible, he says something and she laughs at it. , you almost forget it’s her own self she’s reacting to.
She is so damn adorable.
There are so many great ventriloquists performing these days like Darci Lynne, Jeff Dunham, and Terry Fator to name a few. But in my opinion there has never been a better one than Nina. Absolutely love her!
She's hilarious.
Because she's totally one with monk.
Hilarious. That's the funny thing about ventriloquism, pretty much anyone can learn to talk without moving their lips but it takes real talent to turn that into a performance as good as this. You need to be able to give the puppet "life" through believable dialogue, good characterisation & voicework plus you need to write the jokes and deliver them well while timing your breaths perfectly. Add onto that, the difficulty of performing a song at the same time and she's like a one woman entertainer, specialising in everything.
The thing I've always wondered about is how they manage B, M, and P sounds.
A ventriloquist once told me that if you use your tongue against your teeth to pronounce an N that it still pretty much sounds right. Similarly a D stands in for a B. So a dride gets narried becomes a bride gets married.
"breathe, Nina. I'm dying over here" is not just funny; it's the most understatedly intelligent line of this entire routine
Too true! Brilliant!
But I don't think that was a death aria.
DANG she is super talented, funny, and pretty.
Was waiting for a creepy comment like this, in disguise. 👎
@@rietzhu because I said she is talented, funny, and pretty that was creepy? Wow it's sad when you can't even give someone a compliment without someone else being offended. Try to have a good day.🙄
That was the cutest act I've seen in a long time!
Just such a talented brilliant woman. In a class of her own.
Made me realize just how much I missed and needed to laugh... I'm still grinning now!
She is incredibly talented and sooo beautiful.
oh man you said it she is a gorgeous woman what a goddess
Avalanche Fan yes so is Nina
💦💦
with Monk Nina has reached a whole new level of this ancient and entertaining art...hats off.
I’ve now been watching Nina for a while and I think I can say this with confidence now. I’m in my 70s and I’ve seen all the great ventriloquists…Bergen, Winchell, Lewis, Dunham, Farmer. Nina Conti is the GOAT. I swear, Monkey is real. Thank you for the hours of entertainment.
Agreed
I love Nina conti as a ventriloquist as she's amazing live.
I haven't laughed at a ventriloquist bit since I was a child. Well done.
Professional ventriliquists have been a dying breed in the UK. Good to see the art is not dead :)
Funny pranks
To the contrary. Just ask Monkey... Ventriloquism is a dead art according to him!
She's absolutely brilliant! The best ventriloquist I've ever seen.
She’s definitely good but have you ever seen Darci Lynn?
Terry Fator would like a word with you
Funniest thing I've seen for a long time she's brilliant
She is BRILLIANT !
She's absolutely brilliant.
She is great have seen her live a few times, had totally forgotten her dad is Tom Conti the actor
That explains..!
The perfect Italian-Scottish blend.
Her mom is Helen Miren???? Who was once married to Tom Conti........
@@row1landr Nah... Her Wiki says it's Kara Wilson.
AudieHolland: Wiki'd (pun intended). I didn't know that.
@@row1landr Kara Wilson I think.
First time I've seen her or heard of her...Excellent!!!
Omg! Nessun Dorma done by a ventriloquist?! Nina Conti proves once again she's amazing
Nina's ok, but Darci's keeping the dream alive ua-cam.com/video/nYH0ymEZVDE/v-deo.html
Thank you for the name of the song!
Damn, she's amazing!
A meta ventriloquist act. Never knew we needed this in our lives
I'm watching Black Books for the 5th time and didn't realize she was so talented and funny. My crush has turned to love😍😍😍
Brilliant act that dummy is bloody amazing.
I love when they break the fourth wall. Shari Lewis was a master at it.
Apparently there's room for a few more masters in that room without walls.
@@randolphpinkle4482 - Don't be silly. The room has walls, three of them.
Best thing I've seen in 2024! Beautiful woman. Awesome talent.
I watched this years ago and ever since then to this day whenever I run out of breath while talking or singing I always say "Breathe, twilight, I need more air!"
The best i have ever seen completely different
She is brilliant, her partner is a lucky person, she is gorgeous.
Partner: wtf why are there always other men in the house where are they?
_I can hear them talking you can’t hide from me!!!_
Her : what men?
I usually dont like these acts, but hers is outstanding.
Wow that's some of the most convincing ventriloquism I've ever seen.
Sensationnel! En français: "Quel talent!" Merci!
Nina and monkey are always very entertaining. Very quick wit (Nina too).
Extreme originality always gets my vote!
That's a million dollar performance done with a puppet you'd find at Target or Walmart. Is not superfluous to say she's got talent
She didn't get her material from Walmart!
I think she got monkey from a thrift store, or she found him. I feel like I remember her saying it in an interview once.
I don't think you know what the word 'superfluous' means
"High concept" comedy - I love it!
Shes absolutely brilliant! Very funny 😂
"no not on this hand, you idiot!" got me
Nina and Monkey are so original, so clever and so funny !😂Excellent!!🤩
I just found your video today (11-21-19) and it was outstanding. I smiled and even laughed. You are very talented and I hope you continue to do your magic.
😮WOW. This was mind blowingly impressive and hilarious. ❤️😆
She is FANTASTIC!
What a beautiful lady.
Jeff dunham and Nina Conti should do a friendly show together that would be unbelievable funny Nina is very good wow.... Keep up the good job Nina
A world where puppet apes evolved from Humans??? YOU MANIACS!!!@@mrz80
friendly? whats the fun in that? but yes i was thinking that as well.
Yeah, she doesn't need Dunnyboy.
Walter might have a better disposition with her hand inside him
I can just see Peanut meeting her. XD
OMG - Laughed my ass off! She is Great!
Thanks to one of your commenters, I found it! "Nessun Dorma" is a beautiful aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera "Turandot." It makes me want to hear the whole thing! Well done!
Nina Conti is something else!
Wow. That was wonderful.
Great show. She is wonderful.
This is very original & sharply witty. I haven't seen any imitators though I can't imagine any better.
Definitely the best and most talented ventriloquist.
I like her acts and this one was very good.
Everytime I view it it makes me laugh and I've watched it so many times.
"Yes its QUITE AMBITIOUS!🤣 NOT SURE IF SHE'S UP TO IT"🙆♂️😂🤪 omg this wasGREAT LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❣️👍
Talented, funny and beautiful. That’s what we call a 10/10.
I love your originality, I cannot stop watching your videos.
Man this is hilarious 🤣😂😆. It never gets old.
What a great act!
Gets better and better - Genius!
This is simply brilliant :-)
One of the greatest talents out there today
Outstanding! A mistress of her craft...
After a shitty day at work...and the week not to an end yet, I must say this is a real breath of fresh air...……………….thank you.
