Mike Hemmelgarn – Comedy, Juggler, Ventriloquist

Mike learned the art of ventriloquism like so many have, from a “Jimmy Nelson Instant Ventriloquism” record album. He first learned to juggle from a talented co-worker. He started with tennis balls, and has evolved to bowling balls, knives, machetes, torches and other ridiculous things! Finally, magic and balloon sculpting were incorporated to compliment one of the most unique acts in the business. Since graduating from Wright-State University in Dayton, OH, Mike has performed at thousands of Corporate Events, banquets, Schools, Libraries, Fairs & Festivals, and Theaters. He has been the opening act for Dennis DeYoung and Styx, has been a recurring “family friendly” performer at Funny bone comedy clubs, and has appeared as a special guest (6 times) on FOX news doing entertainment segments.
