riches tale is a series of first-hand accounts of

memorable performances. Some are funny and others

bizarre but all are dressed in the insights of a

sensitive performer.
Perhaps the most eye-opening part of the story of

Jeff Dunham is what he believes are the secrets

of success in his trade. He believed that

characters had to be brought “alive in the

consciousness of the American public”. His deep

affection for his band of puppets is reflected

not just in his choosing to include them in the

title. He gives us a blow by blow account of how

the characters were created, how they are

different and what kinds of responses they have

garnered over time.
The piece in the Star Telegram actually suggests

that his obsession with the puppets borders on

the obscene. The cast of characters is compared

to a “snarky Greek chorus”.
One thing is clear: the timely release of the

book has further raised Jeff Dunham’s stock in

the entertainment market. “Jeff Dunham has always

been one of our biggest sellers and given the

buzz around his book, sales are hotter than

ever,” claims Scott Briggs of TicketLuck.com
that is a major seller of Jeff Dunham tickets in

the secondary market.
