Have you ever met a talking dog, a real talking dog? Get ready, because&nbsp; you are going to meet the funniest comedian on 4 legs!

"Irving", with a little help from his friend Todd Oliver, is going to talk up a storm.&nbsp;

If you ever wondered how a dog looks at life, this little home-raised companion is going to give it to you straight from the dog's mouth. He won't mince words, and if he does, it's Todds' fault anyways (he's a ventriloquist).

PET SUPPLIES DRIVE
Doors to the lobby open at 6:00pm. Please bring a donation of new and unopened pet supplies for Livingston County Animal Shelter (suggestions: unopened dog / cat food and treats, new toys, leashes, collars, harnesses, cat litter, small animal bedding).

BIO
Todd Oliver grew up loving dogs, ventriloquism, music and magic. As a young boy he studied piano, guitar, voice, and the variety arts. Along the way, he created some wooden-headed characters and performed around the world. You'll also meet a bunny named Alice and 3 beautiful birds.&nbsp;

Todd Oliver and Friends have been a feature on Late Show with David Letterman, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, a couple episodes of Walker Texas Ranger, and in 2012 they were a top 4 finalist on America's Got Talent.

A major draw for many years on Showboats in Branson MO, and Nashville TN, as well as other major entertainment venues, Todd is now touring, bringing his brand of clean family fun to towns across America.

Todd promotes pet adoption, spay and neuter, and encourages young people to turn their talents into lifelong skills. In towns across America, Todd visits schools, inspiring young people with these timely and important messages.

The goal is making families laugh together with original, clean, contemporary comedy and fun, so sit back and get ready! You might even be on stage yourself – Todd turns audience members into real live Ventriloquist dummies! Either way, you're going to have a doggone, rocking good time with "Todd Oliver and Irving the Talking Dog”.
