Jerry (OTTO) along with his dummy Dino, is a bottom of the barrel ventriloquist. But when he finds a new dummy, Fritz (GEORGE), his act takes on a life of it's own! Suddenly, Jerry and Fritz are packing the club with a new, cutting edge act that is so filthy, audiences can't get enough of it. He even shocks the regular club comics, Eddie Barnum (JIM NORTON), Sal Salvino (PETE CORREALE) and the hugely popular headliner, Tony Metropolis (JIM BREUER), The King Of Canarsie But who is really running the show, Jerry or Fritz? Jerry doesn't know and neither does his Psychiatrist (GREG GIRALDO), the club owner (LEWIS BLACK). He even seduces the club owner's wife (NINA HARTLEY) in one of the wildest sex scenes ever! Or was it the dummy? You decide.
American Dummy stars some of today's funniest stand-up comedians. Otto & George (Comedy's Dirtiest Dozen), Lewis Black (Comedy Central's The Daily Show), Jim Norton (on TV's ED), Pete Correale, Greg Geraldo, Nina Hartley (Boogie Nights) and Jim Breuer (Saturday Night Live, Half-Baked). Directed by Adam Dubin
AMERICAN DUMMY follows in the traditon of and parodies such classic, crazy cinematic ventriloquists as Erich Von Stroheim (GREAT GABBO), Michael Redgrave (DEAD OF NIGHT), CLIFF ROBERTSON (TWILIGHT ZONE) and Anthony Hopkins (MAGIC). We are proud to say this is the first time the role has been played by a REAL ventriloquist!
