BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

London-born Paul Zerdin caught the puppetry bug at an early age after being given a book on ventriloquism by legendary British comedian Ray Alan. During his teens he practiced throwing his voice in front of the mirror daily, eventually taking a job at a magic shop with an eye on becoming a children’s entertainer. At age 20 he landed a role as host of the Disney-produced show Rise and Shine, which paved the way for his first-place victory on Season 1 of reality TV competition The Big Big Talent Show. A string of high-profile gigs followed, including a performance for the British royal family. In 2015 he made a splash with stateside audiences as the winner of Season 10 of America’s Got Talent, a major victory that has fans dying to see him and his cast of characters on tour.
