Hey, Let’s Put On A Show
Here’s a story about someone. Every day when I wake up I thank God this guy is alive:
As a full-time entertainer, Joe Gandelman travels across the country year round, but not alone. He is accompanied by his colleagues John, Edwin the Elephant, Smiley the Bulldog and his Uncle Sydney, to name a few.
Gandelman is a ventriloquist and he has been entertaining crowds at the Finney County Fair three times a day this year.
Gandelman was a journalist for about 20 years working in India, Spain, Cypress and Bangladesh and also in the United States as a staff writer on the Wichita Eagle-Beacon and in San Diego. To relieve the stress from working as a staffwriter, he decided to find a hobby that kept him away from his career, he said.

P.S. This guy looks much better in person than he does in the photo..

Hehehe, Joe!
“This guy looks much better in person than he does in the photo..”
Really? Imho Edwin is looking simply great on this picture!
But, seriously, great advertisement. Only a mention of TMV is missing, but, ok, this might have had a negative impact on the targeted audience. I hope this wasn’t too expensive, Joe!
Totally OT, but apropos humor: Joe, Mike, Shaun, could someone pls care to explain that latest cartoon to me? I still don’t get it…
:-/
Slow comments day today. Hell, even I get weary of holding monologues sometimes…
Laterz, folks.
Thanks Joe! I too had an Uncle Sydney!
The dummies in my show are not… (fill in the blanks yourself…)
“Every day when I wake up I thank God this guy is alive”
My late uncle used to say this the other way round:
When I’ll wake up some day and nothing hurts, I’ll know that I’m dead.
I think you look great in that picture Joe. Happy and friendly.
The guy in the green Hawaiian shirt doesn’t look too bad either.
You should meet this guy, Joe.
It sounds like you have a lot in common.
Who the heck is Joe Gandelman?
Actually, I’d love to get the rights to your story Joe – It really is remarkable (and that’s just the bit I know about) and I honestly think it would make for good moving pictures in the hands of the right person. OK, I’m probably not the right person, though.
“Actually, I’d love to get the rights to your story Joe”
Wow! What an idea! Yeah, this would be the cinema magnet for 2008 – “Talking out of my belly” starring Billy Cristol as Joe and Newt Gingrich as Edward!
Great Idea, Mike P. Pls sign me up as an investor, you already got the first 100$ commited for the project!
“Edward”
Oops, sry Edwin, don’t kick me in the a** for this, pls!
Joe, good job! You look 35 years old. They did a nice job and got most of the facts right; that’s a real plus.
travel safely…
